Informe de situación - día 453

By Phil Bainbridge

May 22, 2023 - El presidente Zelensky ha asegurado al presidente Biden de EUA en la cumbre del G7 en Hiroshima que los jets de combate F-16 donados por los aliados a Kiev no se usarán para atacar territorio ruso.

Washington has endorsed the idea of joint allied training programmes for Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets although it has yet to commit to allowing the transfer of the planes to Kyiv.

The Kremlin has warned that an attack on Crimea would be seen as an attack on Russia, and would raise the question of NATO involvement, threatening to escalate the situation. According to the Russian ambassador to the U.S., “There is no infrastructure for the operation of the F-16 in Ukraine and the needed number of pilots and maintenance personnel is not there either. What will happen if the American fighters take off from NATO airfields, controlled by foreign ‘volunteers’?”
