Ukraine’s acquisition of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets is just a matter of time, one of President Joe Biden’s top Senate allies surmised during a conversation with a top White House official despite the president’s public refusal.
“I understand and respect President Biden's crisp ‘no’ in response to the question, ‘Will we be sending F-16s?’” Sen. Chris Coons said Monday."I understood that — Jake, you're free to correct me — as a ‘[not] right now.'”
“I'm afraid that, today, I am not in a position to add to what President Biden said when he was asked the question,” Sullivan said.That brief exchange raises the prospect that Ukraine might yet receive Western fighter jets, which could prove effective in the presence of Russian anti-aircraft systems.
Their public recommendation exemplified a dynamic that Sullivan had praised moments earlier when he saluted Coons and Portman, their co-panelist in the conversation, for their efforts in spurring the administration to arm Ukraine. Portman over the last year coordinated with Senate Democrats to prod the White House to send Western artillery and other heavy armored vehicles to Ukraine. That process culminated most recently in Biden’s decision to give U.S.-made Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
