Russia says F-16 supplies to Ukraine would carry 'colossal' risks for West

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said: "Western nations would be undertaking significant risks by providing Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets." Grushko expressed concerns over the potential consequences of such a move.

Western countries will be running "colossal risks" if they supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets, TASS news agency quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko as saying on Saturday.

U.S. President Joe Biden told G7 leaders on Friday that Washington supports joint allied training programs for Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters, senior U.S. officials said.
