Joe Biden categorically rejected the idea of sending US F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine on Monday. “No,” the US president said when questioned by a reporter at the White House about the possibility of providing the devices demanded by Ukrainian leaders.
The Westerners have just stepped forward in military aid to Ukraine, after Germany and the United States announced the shipment of tanks.
President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for even greater assistance, including the delivery of long-range missiles and fighter jets.
“I’m going to Poland, but I don’t know when”
Berlin has already categorically rejected this idea, while French President Emmanuel Macron cautiously considered that “by definition, nothing (was) excluded”, while assuring that the Ukrainians had not made any request to date in this regard. .
As February 24, which will mark one year since the invasion of Ukraine, approaches, Joe Biden declined to say whether he would travel to Europe on this occasion.
But he assured that he would go, without specifying a date, to Poland, a country that plays a key role in the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“I’m going to Poland, but I don’t know when,” he told reporters, returning to Washington after a brief trip to the city of Baltimore (Maryland, east).
