The senators also expressed hope that Ukraine will soon receive ATACMS long-range missilesWASHINGTON, February 16.

/tass/. A group of U.S. senators on Thursday called on President Joe Biden and U.S. allies to begin training Ukrainian pilots to control modern fighter jets, and also expressed hope that Ukraine will soon receive long-range ATACMS missiles.

"The next thing they (Ukrainians - approx. TASS) it is necessary, - these are fighters. You cannot conduct combined arms operations without the Air Force. MiG-29 planes are outdated," Senator Lindsey Graham (Republican from South Carolina) said during a press conference in the US Senate. "Therefore, we call on the [Biden] administration and all our allies to begin the process of training [Ukrainian pilots to control] modern fighters for Ukraine right now."

"Planes are necessary <...>, you cannot fight without air cover and air support. So I think that this [the time of aircraft deliveries to Ukraine] will come the same way as [Javelin anti-tank missile systems], <...> [MLRS] HIMARS came, I hope that ATACMS (missiles with a range of up to 300 km - approx. TASS)," added Senator Richard Blumenthal (Democrat from Connecticut).

On Wednesday, the same group of senators, which includes four Democrats and four Republicans, including Roger Wicker (Republican, Mississippi), Ben Cardin (Democrat, Maryland) and Marco Rubio (Republican, Florida), launched an initiative that would require US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to recognize private military The Wagner Company is a foreign terrorist organization.
