During a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky in France on June 8, 2024, US President Biden apologized for the aid delay and pledged not to abandon Ukraine, announcing an additional military aid package of 225 million dollars, making it the sixth batch of aid. The meeting also saw France offering Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine. Despite Ukraine's progress in acquiring F-16 jets this summer, shortage of qualified pilots has been a concern. Biden's apology and additional assistance come amidst ongoing attacks on Ukraine, with reported deaths and injuries in recent missile strikes, prompting calls for increased support for Ukraine's defense capabilities.
