National Security Advisor White HouseJake Sullivan confirmed this Sunday that United States President Joe Biden has no intention of sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in the short term, realizing that they are not a priority tool in a Russian invasion of Ukraine. a country.

“Now the F-16s are not the key to this Ukrainian offensive. We need vehicles that move quickly at the front,” Sullivan told CNN, referring to the use of tanks. The adviser insisted that warplanes were out of the question “in the short term” but that they could enter into a discussion about the “future of Russia’s defense.” Ukraine”.

about tanks, Sullivan stated that the President Joe Biden At first, he had no intention of sending Abrams to Ukraine, because “the army told him that there was no point in using them in these battles and that it was really necessary to send Leopard tanks, of which there are many in Europe.” explained.

However, Biden he eventually succumbed to pressure from Germany, which flatly refused to send its Leopards unless the United States sent its own armored personnel carriers. “The President thought that if sending the Abrams unlocked the German refusal, it was worth doing, even if it was not the smartest decision,” he added.

Sullivan indicated that Biden discussed the issue with the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelenskywho in any case insisted this weekend on the need to obtain these combat aircraft.

The adviser stressed in response that there are too many factors to take such a decision lightly, given the need to train Ukrainian pilots, as well as the general problems associated with studying any military system.

China still does not send weapons to Russia

CIA director William Burns on Sunday confirmed that the US has evidence that China is considering sending weapons to Russia for the war in Ukraine, but noted that Beijing has not yet made a final decision and has not made any arms shipments.

Burns made the claims in an interview with CBS aired this Sunday, a week after US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken accused China of intending to send arms to Russia, the first of its kind.

Blinken’s message, according to the CIA director today, was intended to dissuade Beijing and show that Washington is aware of his plans.
