Germany's Defense Minister on Supplying Fighters to Kyiv

Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius commented on Ukraine's desire to obtain fighter jets in an interview with a German newspaper. He stated, "There can be no talk of supplying Kyiv with fighter jets." According to Pistorius, fighter jets represent much more complex systems than battle tanks and have entirely different operational ranges and firepower.

He added, "Otherwise, we would have taken that step, which I would now advise caution against."
