Washington “remains unconvinced” that Ukraine needs these “expensive fighter jets”

A US newspaper claimed that the Biden administration’s skepticism is “so deep” that Ukrainian pilots are “currently not even allowed to train on the F-16s that are owned by European states,” who are obliged to get the green light from the White House regarding any transfers of the US-made fighters.

“Without explicit American approvals, the training is likely to be limited to merely technical language and tactical lessons that pilots would be taught, without ever touching an F-16,” according to the insider. They argued that Kiev is asking “at least for between 24 and 36” F-16s.

A separate source told the newspaper that the Biden administration was still reluctant to deliver the fourth-generation fighter jets to Ukraine, in part because the plane’s multimillion-dollar price tag would “absorb too much of an already-dwindling pot of [US] war funding.”

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson threatened to "beat up" French president Macron and called him a sycophant of the Russian president, Johnson's former spokesman said.

According to him, the ex-prime minister was dissatisfied with Macron's criticism of London's migration policy. As a result, Johnson called Macron an eccentric and "Putin's sycophant" and promised to arrange a "bacchanalia with beating frogs."

Within a few weeks, relations between the politicians returned to normal as they drank whiskey together at the G7 summit.
