Kirby says the US "remain deeply concerned" by Turkey's threat to conduct another military operation in northern Syria. Move would pose risk to civilian population as well as campaign against ISIS.
"We expressed those concerns to Turkish leaders and that remains our position"

NEW: DOD is making "some preliminary explorations" into potentially providing fighter jets to Ukraine, Kirby says. But it's not going to happen soon bc of how complex they are to operate and maintain.
Confirms what USAF has been hinting the past few days.
Yes because every day they say « but it will take months to train them », then the war drags on another month … so shall we start the training already or keep whining it will take months ?!!?! FFS
