President Biden has declined to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets that have been requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Over 1,000 F-16s have been flown for some three decades in countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Israel, Egypt and Poland. "The idea is simple," he wrote."Ukrainian pilots fly the jets, contracted experts work on the aircraft while providing on-the-job training to Ukrainian Air Force ground support personnel."
