US military officials are reportedly asking the Pentagon to supply Ukraine with F-16 jets so the country can better defend itself against Russian missiles and drones.

A senior representative of the US Department of Defense told Politico:

– I don't think we are against it.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous, told the newspaper that no final decision had been made.

His statement came just weeks after the United States pledged to send Ukraine a $2 billion weapons package, including the Patriot missile system.
