HARGEISA- 29 MARCH 2024 -(SOMALI GLOBAL NEWS). Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that his forces will shoot down F-16 planes if the West gives them to Ukraine. The tension between Russia and the West is at its worst, as Putin noted.
Speaking to Russian air force pilots, Putin said that the US-led military alliance has been expanding to the east of Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, but Moscow has no plans to attack a NATO country. "The idea that we're going to attack some other country - Poland, the Baltic States, and the dreaded Czech Republic - is nonsense.
It's just stupid." - Said Putin while relations with Washington are at their worst. Putin's statement followed a statement made earlier today by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba that the F-16 aircraft will arrive in Ukraine in the coming months. Ukraine, now more than two years into full-scale war against Russia, has been looking for the F-16 for months.
Belgium, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands are among the countries that have pledged to donate F-16s. Many countries have also pledged to help Ukraine train their pilots.
