Biden says no F-16s for Ukraine as Russia claims gains

Biden's comment came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had begun exacting its revenge for Ukraine's resistance to its invasion with relentless attacks in the east.

The United States will not provide the F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine has sought in its battle against Russia, US President Joe Biden said, as Russian forces claimed a series of incremental gains in the country's east.
