Maria Zakharova mocks US President Joe Biden with her post on Telegram. on the occasion of delivery of F-16 fighters to Ukraine by NATO states.

“White House National Security Chairman Kirby on F-16 Fighter Jet Deliveries to Ukraine: ‘Nobody Wants Escalation.’ It’s as if the White House is trying to prove to public opinion all these years that it is “cutting Biden’s mind” behind closed doors,” said the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Plans to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets show that Washington is leading a “war gang”, Maria Zakharova said earlier.

“Washington leads the war gang, and this is the proof” said the Russian official in an interview with the TV channel Zvezda in response to a statement by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken about the F-16s.

Earlier, the US Secretary of State announced that NATO countries have started delivering F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, in order to strengthen its defense against Russia.

“I am pleased to announce that as we speak, the transfer of F-16 aircraft from Denmark and the Netherlands” to Ukraine is underway, the US top diplomat said, speaking at an event on the sidelines of the summit of NATO. “These aircraft will fly in Ukrainian skies this summer,” he added.

For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his gratitude to the US, Denmark and the Netherlands on Wednesday for bolstering Ukraine’s air force with F-16 jets.

“I am grateful to the United States, Denmark and the Netherlands for the practical steps to achieve the goal of all Ukrainians,” he noted in X.
