The US has announced that it will permit its Western allies to provide Ukraine with modern fighter jets, including F-16s built in the US. This will give Ukraine’s military a significant boost as its leadership has been requesting the jets ever since the war started in February 2022.

According to US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivanr , President Joe Biden “informed his G7 counterparts” of the decision at the group’s summit in Japan on Friday, May 19.


He added that US troops would also instruct Kiev’s pilots on how to use the jets.

This decision opens the door for other countries to deploy their current supplies of F-16s to Ukraine, as under US law, countries can only resell or re-export American military hardware with US approval.

However, no government has so far confirmed it will give advanced fighter jets to Kyiv.
