F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots to begin next month, confirms Pentagon | Oneindia News

The United States has confirmed that it will start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters from next month, joining other allies working to strengthen Ukraine’s air defences some 18 months since Russia’s invasion.

The pilots will be brought to the US in September where they will first learn English before starting their training on how to fly the advanced fighter.

The Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said that the training in Texas and Arizona would involve "several" pilots and "dozens" of personnel to maintain the aircraft.

Prior to this announcement, US President Joe Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy had also discussed the training programme in a call on Thursday, the White House said.

Biden Attacks Trump Supporters, Claims They're the Kind of People ‘You'd Like to Smack in the Ass’

During a recent campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden launched a sharp attack on supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump, characterising them as the kind of individuals "you'd like to smack in the ass." His remarks came as he criticised Trump’s proposed tax cuts for high earners, framing them as harmful to working-class Americans. Biden's comments aimed to highlight what he perceives as the detrimental effects of Trump’s policies, which he argues primarily benefit the wealthy. This outburst, reflecting Biden's escalating rhetoric against Trump and his supporters, underscores the growing tensions as the November 5 election approaches. The President's comments sparked discussions about the deepening divide in American politics, with both candidates intensifying their messaging in the lead-up to the election. #BidenVsTrump #TrumpSupporters #Election2024 #PoliticalRhetoric #ScrantonSpeech #TaxCuts #WorkingClass #DivisivePolitics #Biden2024 #CampaignTrail #AmericanPolitics #VoterResponse #Unity #Democrats #Republicans

‘Trump Won’t Abandon Ukraine’: Zelensky Ready for Trump, Calls Anti-Ukraine Rhetoric a ‘Strategy’

In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a readiness to engage with a potential Trump presidency, suggesting that former President Donald Trump's previous anti-Ukraine rhetoric might be part of a strategic campaign approach. Zelensky's remarks come amid ongoing concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Despite Trump's past criticisms of U.S. aid to Ukraine, Zelensky and his team believe that these statements do not necessarily reflect Trump's true intentions if he were to return to office. They anticipate that, in pursuit of a strong international image, Trump would likely not abandon Ukraine altogether. This stance indicates a nuanced view within Zelensky's administration regarding the implications of U.S. political dynamics on Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. As tensions remain high in Eastern Europe, Zelensky's comments highlight the importance of U.S. support in Ukraine's efforts to combat Russian aggression. #TrumpUkraine #Zelensky #USPolitics #UkraineWar #Trump2024 #InternationalRelations #Kremlin #EasternEurope #USSupport #PoliticalStrategy #UkraineCrisis #BidenVsTrump #ForeignPolicy #Election2024 #GlobalSecurity
