Ukraine War Update: Kyiv Pushes for Fighter Jets Despite U.S. and German Refusal, Russia Gains in ‘Concerted Assault’ on Donetsk

Ukraine has been in a state of conflict since 2014 and tensions have been escalating in recent weeks. Despite the United States and Germany refusing to provide military aid, Kyiv is pushing for fighter jets to support their forces.

On Saturday, U.S. President Joe Biden said that the U.S. will not be sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. In an interview with FRANCE 24 English, a top adviser to the president said they are counting on positive results from the situation very soon.

Meanwhile, Russian forces have been making gains in what is being described as a “concerted assault” on Donetsk. On January 30, 2023, the news was that Russia had taken control of the city and was continuing to push into Ukraine.

The situation in Ukraine remains tense and uncertain, with both sides continuing to build up their forces. It is unclear what the future holds for the war-torn country, but one thing is certain – the conflict is far from over.
