The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) has received a letter from 8 members of the US Senate, requesting the minister to send F-16 fighters to the Ukrainian army "urgently"."
And the office of US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that it had received a letter signed by 8 senators, 5 Democrats and 3 Republicans, asking him that the Pentagon decide to send F-16 fighters quickly, that is, “now,” according to the content of the message.
The senators considered that Kyiv's delivery of these fighters would be "a game changer for the war against Moscow" and would give the Ukrainian Air Force "superior and good capabilities" on the battlefield.
This message comes after two countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) decided in the past hours, Slovakia and Poland, to supply Kyiv with Russian-made MiG-29 warplanes.
A few weeks ago, White House spokeswoman Karen Jean-Pierre said that the provision of "F-16" fighters to Ukraine is not on the table at present, stressing that there is no change in Washington's approach on this issue.
