US trains Ukrainian F-16 pilots

A new report from the inspectors general of the Pentagon, the State Department and USAID says the United States continued training Ukrainian troops, including pilots for F-16 fighter jets supplied by Western countries. The report was submitted to Congress and covers the period from April 1 to June 30.

It says roughly 575 Ukrainian Armed Forces students completed US-provided training during the quarter, a decline of about 28.6 percent from the previous period. The training took place at sites in Germany, Kosovo, Poland, Romania, Spain, Ukraine and the United States.
