US President Joe Biden rules out sending fighter jets to Ukraine. Until further.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly asked Western allies to send fighter jets.
But in an interview with ABC News says Biden that Zelenskyj does not need fighter jets.
– He does not need F-16 aircraft now. I rule this out for the time being, says Biden.
– We send him what our experienced military leaders think he needs now. He needs tanks, he needs artillery, he needs air defense systems, says Biden.
Biden has also previously rejected Zelenskyi’s wish to get fighter jets.
