US Congress will pressure Biden on F-16s. They may appear at сrucial moment, - Chairman of Committee on Foreign Affairs McCaul

Chairman of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul said that Congress will put pressure on President Joe Biden’s administration to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

He stated this in an interview with ABC News, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to LeagueBusinessInform.

He said he hopes that the Republican and Democratic parties will put pressure on the White House to agree to give Ukraine long-range missiles and F-16s, especially in expectation of a Russian offensive.

He noted that the long-range munitions and aircraft could come to Ukraine at a "decisive and crucial" moment in the conflict.

"When we give them something they can actually use and ask for, they win. When we go slow and slow this thing down, it drags on, and that's exactly what Putin wants," McCaul said.

When asked what can be done at the legislative level to force Biden to send Ukraine long-range systems and F-16s, the congressman said that the appropriations bills (maximum amounts of budget funds to be allocated - Ed.) will specify the priorities of weapons systems.

Bulgaria resumes production of Soviet-type shells for Ukraine - The New York Times

After a 35-year hiatus, the Terem arms factory in Kostenets, Bulgaria, began producing Soviet-style 122mm artillery shells for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This is stated by The New York Times, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to LeagueBusinessInform.

The plant stopped producing 122mm shells in 1988 when the Cold War ended. In January 2023, the company resumed production of shells.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new production line in Kostenets was attended by representatives of the US Embassy.

With the new jobs, the plant may become one of Kostenets's largest employers.

"This is a big deal for the city," said Vice Mayor Margarita Mincheva.

In addition, the VMZ arms factory in Sopot has switched to a six-day work week to produce shells for Ukraine.

Officially, Bulgaria has said since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine that it does not support the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces, but Welt's research shows that Sofia actively helped Kyiv with ammunition and diesel fuel for military equipment in the crucial months of the war.
