UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesman said this on Tuesday, Reuters reports.

“The UK’s ... fighter jets are extremely sophisticated and take months to learn how to fly. Given that, we believe it is not practical to send those jets into Ukraine,” he said.

“We will continue to discuss with our allies about what we think is the right approach,” the spokesman added.

Former Pentagon chief Mark Esper urged the United States to provide Ukraine with fighter jets and long-range missiles as soon as possible.
Poland has announced its readiness to transfer its F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine if it is agreed upon at the NATO level.
