Konstantinov: F-16 deliveries to Ukraine will not stop the inevitable collapse of the Kyiv regime
The head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, spoke about the supply of American F-16 fighters to Ukraine. He believes that these supplies will only escalate the conflict in the region, RIA Novosti notes.
Western allies, including the United States, the Netherlands, and Denmark, have already begun transferring the first F-16 fighters to the Ukrainian military, planning to use them this summer.
Konstantinov said that no amount of superweapons can prevent the collapse of the Ukrainian regime. The West seeks to prolong Ukraine's agony to create problems for Russia.
Former Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren confirmed permission to export 24 F-16 fighters to Ukraine. This decision has certainly caused concern in the Russian diplomatic community, where it is seen as an attempt by NATO to draw other countries into the conflict.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, commenting on the NATO countries' decision to supply Ukraine with F-16 aircraft, called the US the leader of a «war gang»
