YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Russian government is warning Ukraine that Kyiv's new fleet of F-16 fighter jets will be treated as a "nuclear-capable" threat.

Ukraine's military said last week that it would begin operating the U.S.-made jets as soon as Monday. Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Ilya Yevlash said that the planes would be ready for battle after Orthodox Easter.

Regardless, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned Ukraine in a statement on Monday that it "cannot ignore" the possibility that the planes could have the capability of delivering nuclear weapons.

"No matter what modification of the aircraft will be supplied [to Ukraine] we will treat them as nuclear-capable and we will consider this step of the United States and NATO as a purposeful provocation,", declared in the Russian Foreign Ministry statement.
