Biden admin reveals plan to train Ukraine pilots on F-16s, 'will decide' when, who will provide jets

The Biden administration has resisted providing Ukraine with F-16 warplanes, but may now simply step aside as other countries with access to such planes look to provide them.

"We hope we can begin this training in the coming weeks," the official said, adding that this program, which aims to improve Ukraine’s Air Force capabilities, reflects "our long-term commitment to Ukraine’s self-defense."  Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news. 

"To date, the United States and our allies and partners have focused on providing Ukraine with the vast majority of the systems, weapons, and training it requires to conduct offensive operations this spring and summer," the official explained.
