London exploring possibility of transferring British fighter jets to Ukraine – media
KYIV. Feb 8 (Interfax-Ukraine) – London is considering the option of supplying British fighters to Ukraine, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed representative of the British government.
The ezine says that Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, instructed the Minister of Defense to find out whether Britain can supply fighter jets, a government representative said.
At the same time, the source of the publication stressed that the authorities have not yet made a decision regarding possible deliveries of fighters, and that the first thing to do is to train Ukrainian pilots to use them. He clarified that the learning process will begin in the spring and will take time.
