UK won't send Ukraine fighter jets because it doesn't have F-16s which it needs

The spokesman for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the information, Reuters reported.

When asked whether Britain would send fighter jets to Ukraine, the spokesman said Britain had no plans to send fighter jets to Ukraine.

“The Ukrainians made the decision to train their pilots on F-16s and you will know the RAF don't use those," he explained.

• Earlier, the UK announced it would start training Ukrainian pilots on aircraft used by NATO countries in the summer of 2023.
