US Congress will pressure Biden on F-16s. They may appear at сrucial moment, - Chairman of Committee on Foreign Affairs McCaul
Chairman of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul said that Congress will put pressure on President Joe Biden’s administration to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
He stated this in an interview with ABC News, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to LeagueBusinessInform.
He said he hopes that the Republican and Democratic parties will put pressure on the White House to agree to give Ukraine long-range missiles and F-16s, especially in expectation of a Russian offensive.
He noted that the long-range munitions and aircraft could come to Ukraine at a "decisive and crucial" moment in the conflict.
"When we give them something they can actually use and ask for, they win. When we go slow and slow this thing down, it drags on, and that's exactly what Putin wants," McCaul said.
When asked what can be done at the legislative level to force Biden to send Ukraine long-range systems and F-16s, the congressman said that the appropriations bills (maximum amounts of budget funds to be allocated - Ed.) will specify the priorities of weapons systems.
