Allies and partners today announced plans to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation aircraft, including the F-16. These exercises are important for the coordination of the contact group, he said.
The head of the Pentagon also expressed the hope that other countries will join the mission of training Ukrainian pilots, because this is “an important example of dedication to supporting Ukraine.”
