The White House National Security Council spokesperson announced that the F-16 fighter jets en route to Ukraine are anticipated to be operational by the conclusion of the summer. This development comes in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's urgent request for additional military support to counter the Russian forces.
According to reports, the United States and its allied nations are coordinating efforts to provide these fighter jets to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities. The deployment of the F-16 jets is seen as a crucial step in enhancing Ukraine's ability to defend itself against the ongoing Russian military aggression.
In addition to the fighter jet deployment, the White House spokesperson also addressed the upcoming press conference that President Biden is scheduled to hold at NATO. The spokesperson described the forthcoming press conference as 'substantial' and indicated that it would involve President Biden fielding questions from multiple reporters in attendance.
While a specific timeline for the press conference was not provided, it was emphasized that the event would be significant in nature, with President Biden expected to address key issues and engage with the press directly.
