President Putin: “F16 fighter jet launch bases could also be targeted by third countries”. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Kuleba says that if all goes as planned, the F-16s will be delivered by this summer.
President Putin pointed out that the United States' defense budget is more than 10 times that of Russia, and said, ``It is a foolish idea to fight NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization),'' and said that he would not engage in direct war with NATO.
