During the meeting, Zelenskyy personally assured Biden that Ukraine would not use Western-supplied F-16s in Russian territory. Biden announced that the United States, together with its allies and partners, will begin training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter aircraft to strengthen Ukraine&#8217;s Air Force. <\/p>\n<p>This move is beneficial to &#8220;the security and prosperity of the American people,&#8221; according to Biden. The US allies in Europe praised the decision, with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling it &#8220;welcome.&#8221; German Chancellor Olaf Scholz echoed the sentiment, saying that the project has a message for Russia: &#8220;Russia cannot count on winning if it bets on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-pushing-back-withdrawal-of-troops-from-afghanistan\/\" title=\"Biden pushing back withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan\">long war<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>New $375 Million Aid Package to Ukraine<\/h3>\n<p>Biden also announced a new $375 million aid package to Ukraine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/omarova-refuses-to-rule-out-a-repeat-of-operation-choke-point\/\" title=\"Omarova Refuses to Rule Out a Repeat of Operation Choke Point\">including ammunition<\/a>, artillery, and armored vehicles. However, Russia warned that the West would be taking &#8220;enormous risks&#8221; by furnishing Ukraine with F-16s and vowed to shoot down any US jets in Ukrainian airspace. <\/p>\n<p>Asked about these comments, Biden said that the jets are &#8220;a risk for them [the Russians], not for us.&#8221; This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/veteran-msnbc-anchor-leaves-hyper-partisan-news-environment-to-go-to-local-news-station\/\" title=\"Veteran MSNBC Anchor Leaves \u2018Hyper-Partisan\u2019 News Environment To Go To Local News Station\">move shows<\/a> the United States&#8217; long-term commitment to Ukraine&#8217;s ability to defend itself and build a future of greater economic strength and resilience in a world that is more peaceful and stable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden stated that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy gave him a guarantee that Western-supplied F-16s would not be used in Russian territory.
