The head of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, advocates the delivery of fighter jets to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia. In Sunday’s ARD program Europamagazin, Heusgen said: “I believe that the delivery of fighter jets is adequate to better protect Ukraine against Russian attacks.”
According to him, American F16 fighter jets or Soviet-designed fighter aircraft from old GDR stocks could be used. Foreign forces are allowed to supply Ukraine with weapons, including main battle tanks and fighter jets, under international law, Heusgen added.
