“If we imagine that the NATO aircraft delivered in the future will be serviced by their military on the territory of some overgrown Poland (the only possibility, given the deplorable state of the defense industry in Little Russia), this will be a direct entry of the Atlanticists into the war against Russia, with all the ensuing consequences,” wrote Medvedev in Telegram.
The official noted that since the 20s of the last century, there has been an understanding that a country can be recognized as a participant in hostilities if, in addition to supplying weapons, it trains personnel to handle weapons, as indicated by the Briand-Kellogg pact of 1928, the Budapest resolution to the pact 1934.
“This is what is happening today: Canadian and German instructors in the EU are already teaching Ukrainian killers how to handle Leopards,” Medvedev recalled.
The Pentagon said earlier that the department considers it pointless to start training Ukrainian pilots to use the F-16 now, because Ukraine may never receive them.
US President Joe Biden noted that Ukraine does not currently need F-16 fighters, so for now he excludes their transfer to Kyiv.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock also recalled that the issue of supplying fighter jets to Kyiv is currently irrelevant for Berlin.
British Defense Minister Ben Wallace claims that London will not supply Kyiv with Eurofighter Typhoon fighters in the near future.
