US Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles Brown said that Western countries may soon provide Ukraine with combat aircraft.
“There are American (fighters), there are Swedish Gripen, there is Eurofighter or Rafale. There are a whole bunch of different fighters that could go to Ukraine … that would be something non-Russian,” Politico quotes Brown. .
In early June, California National Guard Commander David Baldwin urged the US to consider deploying Soviet-made fighter jets to Ukraine.
This initiative was also discussed earlier, but the US administration rejected it, in order to avoid increasing the risks of a direct confrontation with Russia.
According to the Ukrainian agency Ukrinform, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Western countries have an agreement not to supply certain types of weapons to Ukraine, in particular attack aircraft and tanks.
Earlier, they also talked about the transfer of Russian-made MiG-29s by Poland to Ukraine. However, no formal agreement on this issue was reached at the NATO level.
