Sullivan said the partners need a few more weeks to prepare.

The United States of America will allow European countries to start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets .

This was stated by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, commenting on reports that partners are awaiting official approval from Washington. He assures that the States are not postponing the training of Ukrainian pilots, writes  CNN .

Yes, we will do it. The President has given the green light, and we will allow, support, facilitate and actually provide the necessary tools for the Ukrainians to start training on the F-16 as soon as the Europeans are ready,” Sullivan said.

European leaders need several weeks to prepare training opportunities, he said, and the US will invest in whatever schedule they set. “The United States will not delay in ensuring that these F-16 exercises can begin,” he added.

    • I wouldn’t call that quick. The training should have started about a month ago. When news media reported the delay, the reason hadn’t been mentioned. Now we know it: Biden hadn’t given his ok yet. And let’s remember, there’s still no US agreement on actually delivering F-16s to Ukraine. Makes me wonder if the WH is afraid of Putin losing the war and thus deliberately holding weapons back.

  1. “Biden allowed to start training on the F-16”

    What? Who’s allowing him to do that. He’s way too old.
