The US allows Ukraine to buy 4th and 5th generation fighter jets
Negotiations are underway both within the US administration and with Ukraine
The U.S. government is discussing the transfer of fourth- and fifth-generation fighter jets to Ukraine, including as part of Kyiv's long-term needs.
Source. This was stated by US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland in an interview with the Washington Post.
"We continue to conduct these negotiations both within the US administration and with Ukraine. Some European countries are interested in providing these aircraft. And, as US President Joe Biden said earlier, this decision should be made by them," she said.
Nuland clarified that "we are talking about a changing picture" at the front, according to which Kyiv's allies are considering what exactly the Ukrainian Armed Forces need.
Nuland also noted that on February 24, the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, Washington will announce another package of sanctions: new measures will affect Russian banks and Chinese companies, including those based in Europe.
She clarified that these are companies that help Moscow circumvent sanctions. All G7 countries will join the new restrictions.
In addition, the United States expects that Beijing will present a peace plan for Ukraine on the same day and wants to see it.
Background. In the same interview, Nuland noted that Russians import 1000% more equipment to disassemble it and extract chips.
