⚡️Official: US to let European countries train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s.
The U.S. will allow European countries to launch much-anticipated training for Ukrainian pilots to use F-16 fighter jets after reports that Europe was awaiting formal approval, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN.
“The president has given a green light, and we will allow, permit, support, facilitate and in fact provide the necessary tools for Ukrainians to begin being trained on F-16s as soon as the Europeans are prepared,” Sullivan said, providing no timeframe for when the training will begin.
