The prime ministers of the UK and the Netherlands, Rishi Sunak and Mark Rutte, have agreed to build an "international coalition" to supply Kyiv with US-built F-16 fighter jets - a key weapon Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long sought from Western allies.

The announcement was made following a meeting at the Council of Europe Summit in Iceland.

"The prime minister reiterated his belief that Ukraine's rightful place is in NATO and the leaders agreed on the importance of allies providing long-term security assistance to Ukraine," a spokesperson for Sunak's Downing Street office said on Tuesday.

Most members of the military alliance have kept open the possibility of sending their fighter jets to the war-ravaged nation, even as US President Joe Biden stressed in January that America would not do so.

According to Al Jazeera's John Psaropoulos, experts say F-16s would offer Kyiv an advantage in the war, but only if combined with missiles and targeting details, which Western nations would also have to offer and which would potentially make them more involved in the conflict.

On Monday, French leader Emmanuel Macron said his country was ready to train Ukrainian fighter pilots, even if he excluded sending any jets to Kyiv.

Earlier on Tuesday, in a speech to the Council of Europe Summit in Iceland, Zelensky reiterated his requests for Western allies to bolster Kyiv's air defences, particularly in light of the reportedly successful shooting down of several Russian missiles fired at the Ukrainian capital overnight.

Later, in his nightly address, he called the recent moves from Sunak and Rutte towards supplying Ukraine with fighter jets "a good start to the coalition".

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
