Joe Biden has recently announced other means of military assistance for the nation

Joe Biden has ruled out sending American fighter jets to Ukraine while being questioned by reporters on the White House lawn.

This is despite the U.S. ramping up its up military assistance for the war-torn nation in a number of other ways.

Last week, Biden announced his administration will be sending 31 M-1 Abrams tanks, despite warnings from top U.S. officials.

Currently, there is fierce fighting in eastern Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv battle for control of key areas within the Donetsk region.

The south is also facing severe bombardment.

On Friday, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby acknowledged Volodymyr Zelensky is pleading with western nations to donate their fighter jets.

“We are constantly talking to the Ukrainians about their needs, and want to make sure that we’re doing the best we can to meet them – and if we can’t, that some of our allies and partners can,” Kirby said.

Ukraine is warning it currently doesn’t have the means to defend itself against Iranian ballistic missiles — if Russia obtains them.

Also while on the White House lawn, Biden was questioned about his intention to visit Europe and Poland as the one-year anniversary of the start of the invasion rolls around. #trending #featured

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
