The White House announced that Ukrainian pilots are ready to train on F-16 fighter jets in the United States if training capacity in Europe is not enough.
John Kirby, the White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator, said that the training program is being planned carefully and that the United States is working with European partners to ensure that Ukrainian pilots have the necessary skills to operate F-16s.
Kirby also said that the Biden administration is proposing a $40 billion emergency fund to help Ukraine, including $24 billion for military assistance.
