MiG-29 fighter jet WASHINGTON, Mar 16 The US has not changed its decision on what to transfer MiG-29 fighter jets are not allowed to Ukraine, because this can be perceived as a step towards escalation, said White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki. «The transfer to Ukraine can be mistakenly perceived as an escalation,» Psaki said at a briefing. Biden heard Volodymyr Zelensky's speech before Congress, but did not change his decision based on Pentagon assessments. Psaki cited the administration's view that the transfer of fighters would not significantly change the capabilities of Ukrainian forces.
