KYIV, July 23 – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday cautioned that deliveries of the F-16s that Ukraine has long sought in its fight against Russia could take "months and months" once it's determined the fighter jets are appropriate, but America's support hasn't wavered.

In an interview on CNN, America's top diplomat defended U.S. assistance to Ukraine so far, insisting Kyiv had consistently been given the equipment it needs to try and repel Russia's invasion.
