Kyiv will most likely receive old F-16s from NATO – but it is claimed they will still become a message to Putin that the alliance with Ukraine will be for a long time. The yet-to-be-finalized delivery of F-16 fighter jets to NATO to Ukraine is perceived primarily as a gesture to the Kremlin, designed to show that the alliance intends to support Kiev for a long time and ultimately integrate it into its composition, reports Bloomberg.

Western politicians lie as they radiate confidence in victory in the conflict in Ukraine. However, Russia is militarily strong, politically intransigent, and not as economically vulnerable as the West thought. After the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia became not a pariah of the international community, but a new anti-Western role model. Its record of success is impressive: Russia has maintained monetary stability, found new trading partners, and has been able to capitalize on the withdrawal of Western companies.
