According to their representatives, the United States is focused on the supply of weapons to Ukraine that are appropriate in the current situation, and fighter jets are not included in this list.
“So, we’re trying to be very deliberate about what systems we think makes the most sense for Ukraine to have in that context, and also matters very much—can they sustain it? Can they afford it?», clarified U.S. Secretary of Defence, Colin Kahl.
The US military has not even made a final analysis of the possible provision of aircraft, so Kiev definitely won’t receive them in the near future. At the same time, the United States does not exclude that they will return to this issue later.
«But I can tell you that fighter aircraft remain on the table, just no final decisions have been made about that,” mentioned Colin Kahl.
