facilitating a deal what would have sent some of Poland’s MiG fighters to Ukraine in exchange for U.S.-manufactured F-16s. Pentagon officials said in March that such a proposal was not “tenable” and raised the possibility that participating in the swap could exacerbate tensions. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that European allies had a “green light” to send planes to Ukraine, but that the United States wanted to avoid direct conflict with Russia.
Austin and Milley spoke with reporters following the latest meeting of international military leaders working to bolster Ukraine’s defenses, both in the near term and for what many foresee will be a years-long standoff with Russia. Austin indicated that, for now, the Biden administration’s priority remains the artillery war Ukraine’s troops are waging in the country’s east.
“Right now, we’re focused on helping them to be successful in the fight that they’re in, and employing the weapons systems they’re going to need to be successful in that fight,” he said. “In terms of predicting where we’re going to be with pilot training in months or years, I won’t venture to do that.”would mark a massive upgrade. Ukrainian officials have, for months,Brown,
the top U.S. Air Force general, said the discussion is partly about “understanding where Ukraine wants to go and how we meet them where they are.”President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the biggest shake-up in the Ukrainian government since the start of the war: The
KatyaYushchenko At last!
In a fuckin war, you don't DECIDE, you DO! Putin needs to be sorted out once for all, and the time is now, not Christmas.
Screw it, let's get it on. Putin is this generation's Hitler.He is evil. If the cowards in Russia won't do it, the allies should. Mutually assured destruction? Well at least we'll be on the right side of the mushroom cloud. For those of us left, a little nuclear winter. Good.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 should already have them don’t think about it get it done.
How can anyone ‘just provide fighter jets’? It takes years of training to be a pilot.
Russia is proving super power
Provide everything Ukraine needs to win, they're fighting a war that benefits every democracy on the planet, and many people in oppressed societies like Russia, Belarus and Chechnya.
NATO, the US and Ukraine have shared values which are an anathema to the rest of the world. Now we know why Russia needs to save the world from these so-called shared values and the Rules Based Order.
Another angle on how the Ukraine War started. Russia invaded to protect Eastern Ukrainians from imminent slaughter by Ukrainian Nazis supported by the US.
Russia will bring peace to Ukraine after the Nazis are defeated once again. God bless Russia and its great people.
Lol half of Ukraine will have been annexed by Russia by the time the US and their allies finish deciding 🙄
Since Russia already said they will not negotiate with Ukraine, the US might as well find a way to deliver these jets to Ukraine. However, the US can't help Ukraine forever, and therefore a negotiated settlement is the only way to stop this war.
So they wouldn't participate in a swap that would have given Ukraine planes they already had training to fly and maintain, but now they say they're open to selling them other planes?
About time to the no balls west its about time someone killed putin
The US wont let this war end that ez. I wonder how long would it takes before the US nukes to Ukraine.
And prolong the war. How will it ever come to an end?
Should have happened months ago.
Let their pilots fight the Russians now, or let our pilots fight the Russians later. Easy choice.
Yes, at last! Should be much earlier, but I bet the pilots are already training.
A very bad idea. Ukraine will not defeat the Russian military.
The US is getting desperate. Joe Biden/Dems hit lowest approval ratings in America. US economy in shambles. Dollar hegemony being destroyed by BRICS. Saudis tell Brandon to take a hike and NATO member Turkey meets Putin in Teheran… what else can possibly go wrong for America?
