Ukraine’s defense minister is scheduled to meet President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Tuesday, amid a debate among Kyiv’s allies over whether to provide fighter jets for its war against Russia, after US President Joe Biden ruled out providing F-16s.<\/p>\n

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine multi-role fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft.<\/p>\n

Ukraine planned to push for Western fourth-generation fighters like F-16s after securing supplies of main battle tanks last week, an adviser to Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov<\/a> said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Asked at the White House on Monday if the United States would provide F-16s, Biden told reporters: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

But France and Poland appear to be willing to entertain any such request from Ukraine, with Macron telling reporters in The Hague on Monday that \u201cby definition, nothing is excluded\u201d when it comes to military assistance.<\/p>\n

In remarks carried on French television before Biden spoke in Washington, Macron stressed any such move would depend on several factors including the need to avoid escalation and assurances that the aircraft would not \u201ctouch Russian soil.\u201d He said Reznikov would also meet his French counterpart Sebastien Lecornu in Paris on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In Poland on Monday, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also did not rule out a possible supply of F-16s to neighbouring Ukraine, in response to a question from a reporter before Biden spoke.<\/p>\n

Morawiecki said in remarks posted on his website that any such transfer would take place \u201cin complete coordination\u201d with NATO countries.<\/p>\n

Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukraine president\u2019s office, noted \u201cpositive signals\u201d from Poland and said France \u201cdoes not exclude\u201d such a move in separate posts on his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg was in Japan on Tuesday where he thanked Tokyo for the \u201cplanes and the cargo capabilities\u201d it is providing Ukraine. A day earlier in South Korea he urged Seoul to increase its military support to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s comment came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had begun exacting its revenge for Ukraine\u2019s resistance to its invasion with relentless attacks in the east, where it appeared to be making incremental gains.<\/p>\n

Zelenskiy has warned for weeks that Moscow aims to step up its assault after about two months of virtual stalemate along the front line that stretches across the south and east.<\/p>\n

Ukraine won a huge boost last week when Germany and the United States announced plans to provide heavy tanks, ending weeks of diplomatic deadlock on the issue.<\/p>\n

While there was no sign of a broader new Russian offensive, the administrator of Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine\u2019s eastern Donetsk province, Denis Pushilin, said Russian troops had secured a foothold in Vuhledar, a coal-mining town whose ruins have been a Ukrainian bastion since the outset of the war.<\/p>\n

Pushilin said that despite \u201chuge losses\u201d Ukrainian forces were consolidating positions in industrial facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
