John Kirby assured that America is “open to training Ukrainian pilots” in these fighters.
The United States is ready to train Ukrainian pilots in F-16 fighters if such training is not organized by European countries. This was said by the coordinator of the White House National Security Council, John Kirby, saying goodbye VOA correspondent Jeff Seldin on Twitter on Friday, August 11.
“The United States is open to training Ukrainian pilots if European partners do not have the opportunity to do so,” the American official said.
According to him, Washington is committed to moving forward in giving Ukraine a “long-term opportunity.”
As we have already written, the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, approved the training of the Ukrainian military with American F-16 fighters. The study process should be led by Denmark and the Netherlands.
We add that the US administration has not yet received the final plan for the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets from European partners and therefore cannot confirm the transfer of the equipment necessary for this .
