Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave Washington a “flat assurance” that F-16 fighters will not attack Russian territory, US President Joe Biden said Sunday after approving Kyiv’s access to the jets.

“I have a flat assurance from Zelensky that they will not use it to go on and move onto Russian geographic territory, but wherever Russian troops are within Ukraine and the area, they would be able to do that,” Biden told reporters at the G7 summit in Hiroshima.
