 The United States has approved F-16 fighter jets to be sent to
Ukraine from the Netherlands and Denmark once Ukrainian pilot training is
completed. According to a US government official, US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken has informed the two countries by letter. The Netherlands and
Denmark provide the training for the Ukrainian pilots.
 
 It may be another year before the F-16s are actually shipped. On
Friday it was announced that the training of the first Ukrainian pilots
will probably not be completed until the summer of next year.
 
 Ukrainian fighter pilots are also trained in Belgium on the F16.
Separate training is also handled in the UK and Germany.
