Ukraine's latest military aid request is for F-16 fighter jets, but President Joe Biden has declined to provide them yet.
Biden, who has authorized roughly $27 billion worth of military aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded nearly a year ago, said on Monday that he wouldn't agree to the request, though on Tuesday he said he'll be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the near future.
"Our partners are aware of the types of weapons we need — first and foremost, fighter jets and long-range missiles that can hit targets up to 300 km away," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a Tuesday briefing."These are not weapons of escalation, but rather weapons of defense and deterrence against the aggressor. We are actively negotiating to unlock all these solutions. I have instructed all our diplomats in key capitals to make this a priority.
