Zelenskyy Meets Sunak on G7 Summit Sidelines #shorts | VOANews

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Hiroshima on Saturday.

In a statement provided to VOA, a senior administration official said Friday that Biden informed G-7 leaders the United States will support a joint effort with 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 training, set to begin in the coming weeks, will take place at sites in Europe and require months to complete, said the official.

“As the training unfolds, in the coming months, we will work with our allies to determine when planes will be delivered, who will be delivering them and how many,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said during a Saturday press briefing in Hiroshima, Japan, where the G-7 summit is being held.

Sullivan said the fighter jets will not be used for a planned counteroffensive against Russia.

Zelenskyy welcomed Biden’s decision, saying in a tweet it would “greatly enhance our army in the sky." #g7 #ukraine #russia #britain #voanews
