A bipartisan group led by RepGolden is urging Biden to provide Ukraine with F-16s. Despite the request from lawmakers, there's a small but vocal portion of the Republican Party that wants to end aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials have been asking for F-16 fighter jets but the Biden administration has declined to meet this request thus far. Ukrainian leaders continue to remain hopeful, however, considering the president has changed his mind on systems to send to Ukraine multiple times over the course of the war.Reps. Mike Gallagher , Jason Crow , Jared Golden , Tony Gonzales , and Chrissy Houlahan signed a letter to Biden dated Thursday expressing their support for providing F-16s to Ukraine.
“F-16s or similar fourth generation fighter aircraft would provide Ukraine with a highly mobile platform from which to target Russian air-to-air missiles and drones, to protect Ukrainian ground forces as they engage Russian troops, as well as to engage Russian fighters for contested air superiority,” they added.
Biden said earlier this month that they wouldn't agree to the request, though he also said he'll be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, presumably in the near future. U.K. and German officials have agreed, saying they will not meet Ukraine's request for F-16 fighter jets. Eleven countries have pledged tanks, twenty-two have pledged infantry fighting vehicles, sixteen pledged artillery and munitions, while nine more pledged air defense artillery, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters earlier this week.
