The UK has said it is up to the White House ultimately to decide on whether to send F-16 jets to Ukraine. Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, made the comments after talks with Boris Pistorius, his German counterpart, in Berlin, adding that Washington has to decide “whether it wants to release that technology”.
Mr Pistorius said that “it depends on the White House... to decide whether the F-16 fighter planes can be delivered” given that any movement of the US-made aircraft would require American approval. About 25 nations use the multirole jets.
