BBC World Service - Newshour, US Approves Fighter Jets For Ukraine

US announces that its allies can supply Ukraine with American-made F-16 fighter jets

US announces that its allies can supply Ukraine with American-made F-16 fighter jets.

Zelenskiy arrives at the G7 summit in Japan as the US allows allies to supply Ukraine with American-made F-16 fighter jets. Russia says the F-16 deal means the West is continuing the path of escalation in the Ukraine conflict, something, it says, is fraught with "massive risks" for the West itself.

Also on the programme: We hear from a member of the main opposition party in Cambodia after they were banned from contesting the upcoming election, and music and literature join together in Bosnia. .
