Yes, they are firing at Putin's invading army

Fair play to Rishi Sunak and the Tories publicly backing Ukraine to join NATO.

I never thought that I'd praise the Tories, 2023 really is a strange year.

Sure, this one issue of helping Ukraine get into Nato
Labour Party also the same.

The US says it will support providing advanced fighter jets including US-made F-16s to Ukraine and also back training Ukrainian pilots to fly them.

A senior White House official said President Biden had told G7 leaders in Japan of the decision.

President Volodomyr Zelensky, who has requested fighter jets for months, said the decision would "greatly enhance our army in the sky".

US approval for the scheme will allow other nations to export their F-16s.

This is because the US legally has to approve the re-export of equipment purchased by allies.

The US would "support a joint effort with our allies and partners to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation fighter aircraft, including F-16s, to further strengthen and improve the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force", the official said.

"As the training takes place over the coming months, our coalition of countries participating in this effort will decide when to actually provide jets, how many we will provide, and who will provide them."

The announcement by the US will be viewed as a major breakthrough for the air capabilities of Ukraine, which has repeatedly lobbied its Western allies to provide jets to help in its fight against Russia.

Mr Zelensky welcomed what he described as a "historic decision", adding that he looked forward to "discussing the practical implementation" of the plan at the G7 summit in Hiroshima.

The announcement of US support for a programme to supply Ukraine with advanced fighters comes as the Ukrainian leader is due to travel to Japan to meet G7 leaders to secure further military support for its planned counter-offensive.

game changer

Ukraine will use the F-16's to attack
Russian Crimea.

USA Defence has said he can.

This is Dangerous


Poking a Bear with a Hot Stick

Crimea will be liberated. Russia is now so weak

Still able to fire endless Missiles
you are wrong

Crimea is part of Russia, the inhabitants voted to be so.

Ukraine is part of Mother Russia, in spite of what some one said in the 1990's

I say I am the king of Jupiter, does that make it so?

Do we know if Finland has been admitted to NATO yet?

Yes

Russia have installed more than 1 million face recognition cameras in moscow alone. They have also made it law for taxis to photograph all hires and log the time and destination of all journeys. People trying to dodge being drafted into the army have no chance

It should be an honour to fight the Nazis in Russian Ukraine for Mother Russia!!!

I can hardly believe you mean that. Why do you call it Mother Russia? You're not Russian, are you?

Sticks has been doing this pro-Russia LARP since early 2022... I think it's supposed to be satire of some description but I have to say, keeping it up for a year+ when no one is really biting is quite impressive.
