F-16 in Ukraine: the United States answered whether they will be allowed to beat from aircraft in the Russian Federation

The response of US Department of State Department Matthew Miller was evident. He stated that it depends on the situation on the battlefield. The US has already partially allowed Ukraine to strike military purposes in Russia, using American weapons. All subsequent extension of permits will depend on the situation on the battlefield.

This is how US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller answered, answering the questions of the journalist of the Azerbaijani edition of Turan, Alex Rauphoglu during a briefing on Monday. About it writes "Voice of America". "My answer has not changed, namely: we continue to look at the needs of the Ukrainian military, evaluate the security situation and try to respond to their needs. And this is a process that is happening from the beginning to the present.

Thus we make appropriate decisions about the weapon that We provide Ukraine as well as restrictions, if any, which we impose on the use of these weapons, " - said Miller, commenting on the probability of expanding permits for the Armed Forces. Miller did not answer whether it is allowed to beat the F-16 in Russia and said nothing about expanding the opportunities of partners, including NATO countries, to beat Russian missiles over Ukraine.

"This is a decision that NATO members should be taken collectively. It's not that I can comment on my position," Miller said. We will remind, on the day of the Air Force of the Armed Forces on August 4, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky presented new F-16 fighters and said that official Kiev will discuss with NATO the idea of ​​creating a coalition of countries that will help to knock Russian missiles over the territory of Ukraine.
