This was announced by Lindsey Graham during his visit to Kyiv.

The United States authorities should offer retired F-16 pilots to help Ukraine in the war against Russia.

A correspondent of RBC-Ukraine reports that US Senator Lindsey Graham said this during his visit to Kyiv.

Following talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Graham said that retired F-16 pilots who want to fight for freedom can be hired by Ukraine.

"They (Ukrainians - ed.) will look among NATO countries for ready pilots who have retired to help them until they teach their pilots," he told.

According to Graham, in this way Ukraine will be able to use the F-16 planes transferred from the allies earlier while its pilots are being trained.
