Zelensky Confirms F-16s Are in Ukraine

President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Sunday that F-16s had arrived in Ukraine. A US official said only a limited number of the warplanes are in Ukraine currently, adding the fighters are not flying combat operations.

In a statement posted to X, Zelensky wrote, “F-16s in Ukraine. We ensured this.” He added that Ukrainian pilots “have already started using them for our country.”

A US official insisted the operations were not combat missions . “About a half-dozen pilots were conducting test flights on as many jets in “uncontested” Ukrainian airspace,” The New York Times reported the unnamed official said.

...In the opening months of the conflict, President Joe Biden said that sending advanced American weapons would provoke a major war between Russia and NATO. Over the past two years, Biden has walked away from that pledge by sending F-16s, Abrams tanks, and long-range missiles to Ukraine.
