The USA and Ukraine presidents, Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky, met at the G7 Hiroshima conference. The critical topic of the meeting was the possibility of the USA providing F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv.
New York Times
Kyiv needs to receive fourth-generation American fighters because Russian soldiers significantly exceed the characteristics of the Ukrainian Air Force.
Wall Street Journal
Kyiv's desire to acquire F-16 is due to the exhaustion of the defense potential of Ukrainian air defense systems, which Russian fighters will soon use.
Business Insider:
The start of negotiations between Biden and Zelensky on the F-16 was one of the radical changes in the strategy of the White House, which previously refused to transfer these fighters to the Ukrainian army for a long time.
