DW: Germany and UK say US must decide on fighter jets to Ukraine
Britain and Germany's defense ministers have ruled out directly supplying Ukraine with fighter jets. The decision, they said, would have to be taken by Washington.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Wednesday that any decision to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine would be "up to the White House" after a meeting with his British counterpart Ben Wallace.
US-made F-16s are at the top of Kyiv's wish list because of their destructive power, cost-effectiveness and versatility.
The Ukrainian military says they would be four or five times more effective than its current Soviet-era jets.
