BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Training Ukrainian pilots in flying U.S.-built F-16 fighter jets does not make NATO a party to the conflict, the alliance’s chief Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday.
“Ukraine has the right of self-defence…We help Ukraine to uphold that right,” he told reporters. “That doesn’t make NATO and NATO allies a party to the conflict.”
