Western countries run "risks" if they provide Ukraine with F-16s, says Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko. US President Joe Biden said yesterday that Washington will support a joint effort with allies and partners to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation aircraft.

Grushka: "In any case, we will take this into account when we make our plans. We have all the means necessary to achieve our goals" He was speaking on the sidelines of the 31st Assembly of the Council for Foreign and Defence Policy.
