The U.S. has apparently signaled to its European allies in recent weeks that it would allow exports of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. This is what several people familiar with the issue told CNN.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Resnikov has spoken out about the heavy fighting between Russian and Ukrainian troops in the town of Bachmut, according to Ukraine's RBC news agency. "The Russians are losing a whole battalion or thereabouts every day there, according to our estimates," RBC quoted the minister as saying. In total, Russia has 70,000 soldiers killed or wounded since the beginning of the fighting around Bachmut, he said.
According to Resnikov, by defending Bachmut, the Ukrainian military is fulfilling another critical task: significantly weakening the Russian army. This prevents Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin's troops from launching offensive actions in other directions. To assess the latter claim, one would need to know how much it costs Ukraine to inflict these losses on Russia, and how big Ukraine's own losses are. I would say in the light of Russia' huge numerical superiority and possible reserves and huge ammo supplies for artillery, that loss ratio between both sides would need to be in Ukraine's favour by several factors to make the battle for a field of ruins a battle worthwhile for Ukraine. Obviously they seem to think this is the case.

This news came in about an hour ago.
Denmark together with Britain, Germany and the Netherlands shall start to train Ukrainian pilots in flying the F-16. The news didn't say which version they would get and be trained in. Markus

The F-16 Fighting Falcon MLU the Netherlands use will go out of service in a year (66) think those will be given to Ukraine and training is in simulators.

In the article they talked with some American fighter pilot. (Can have remembered wrong) I don't know how long it will take to train them in flying the F-16. I guess a couple of month or so. Markus

^ I know there isn't any F-16 or volunteers flying them.
From the article it also said that Zelenskyy only need to call and he, the American pilot, would come when they got these F-16. 2 years I thought it would take lesser then these 2 years Markus
