Washington will limit Kiev’s use of the weapons that will equip its F-16 fighter jets, the AFU will be allowed to use them on Russian territory “in response to attacks from abroad,” The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a US official.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States has agreed to arm dozens of F-16 fighter jets being sent to Ukraine with US missiles and other “advanced weapons”.
The publication noted that, as in the case of other weapons, Washington would limit Ukraine’s use of the US-provided weapons for strikes on Russian territory.
The newspaper specified that Kiev will be allowed to use the weapons, which will be equipped with F-16s, on Russian territory only “in response to attacks from that side of the border”.
We shall remind you that earlier during his working trip to Torzhok, Vladimir Putin said that US F-16 fighter jets, even if Western countries supply them to Ukraine, will not be able to influence the situation on the battlefield.
