Ukraine deploys US F-16 fighter jets

China Daily  

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy speaks to the media in a front of an F-16 fighting aircraft in an undisclosed location, Ukraine August 4, 2024. Ukrainian pilots have started flying F-16s within the country, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the US-made fighter jets more than 29 months after Russia started its special military operation. Ukraine may keep some of the F-16 fighter jets at foreign bases to protect them from Russian strikes, according to a senior Ukrainian military official. Talking to reporters at an airfield, Zelensky said Ukraine still did not have enough pilots trained to use the F-16s or enough of the jets themselves. Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier warned Washington that Moscow would stop implementing its unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range strike weapons if US long-range missiles appeared in Germany.
