And starting with US President Joe Biden, who told his counterparts from the leaders of the G7 countries at the meeting of the group currently held in Hiroshima, Japan, that the United States of America agreed to allow its allies to support the Ukrainian Air Force with fourth-generation fighters, including F-16s, to enable Kiev to launch a counterattack against Russian forces in the regions of eastern Ukraine. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced his country's intention to participate in joint efforts with allies to train Ukrainian pilots to use F-16 fighters in the coming months. After that, the countries that will provide fighters of this type to the Ukrainian Air Force will be announced.

On the other hand, the commander of the Wagner Combat Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that his forces are close to capturing the city of Bakhmut, after nearly 10 full months of siege by Russian forces. A video clip spread on social media of a Ukrainian soldier from inside Bakhmut saying that the city had already fallen into the grip of Wagner.

Finally, Western newspapers said that the delay in launching the Ukrainian counterattack was due to the weather conditions in the combat zones in eastern Ukraine, where the slow thawing of snow and its transformation into sludge forced Ukrainian vehicles prepared to carry out the attack to delay their progress until the flat lands reached the required dryness.
