According to him, to prevent "an extremely dangerous round of escalation," the statement of US President Joe Biden is insufficient.

“The United States must not only strictly adhere to this position, but also use its influence on the allies, and it is more than sufficient to exclude such supplies,” Pushkov wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to him, Biden's statement does not mean that fighters will not be supplied by other countries.

He noted that nine NATO countries have F-16s, and France has its own Rafale fighters.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that the United States would not supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets.
