Senate Armed Forces Committee member: US Must Provide Ukraine With Military Airplanes

Not with American pilots, but with the training Ukrainians need to fly those planes and make them effective as a preemptive, as well as a force to protect the Ukrainian people against the air advantage of Russian fighter jet”, he went on, broadcast news.

The Pentagon said last week that the US opposed a Polish plan to transfer fighter aircraft to Ukraine via the US and a German air base.
