The leader of the Republican Minority in the Senate of the US Congress, Mitch MacConnell, supported the idea of transferring F-16 fighters to Kyiv.
“If it depended on me, I would have done it. Yes, I would have done. We must give Ukrainians everything you need to win the war as quickly as possible,” he said, answering the question of whether the United States will transfer to Ukraine f- 16, quote his Russian media.
According to McConnell, NATO allies convey more weapons to Ukraine than expected, but the process must be accelerated by discarding the bureaucracy.
On February 16, a group of American senators called on US President Joe Bayden put fighters and long -range missiles to Kyiv. In their opinion, Washington should begin training Ukrainian pilots.
