At the same time, Kirby added that he had no new information about the training of Ukrainian pilots.

"Obviously, coming out of Vilnius [NATO summit – ed.] and the G7, the President made a strong commitment that we do support F-16 – eventual F-16 delivery to Ukraine. And you got to start with training, and we have been working with our European allies in particular to see if we can get that training going as soon as possible," Kirby said.
