Ukraine has the State Department’s go-ahead for a $310.5 million deal with the U.S. for training and equipment related to its F-16s, a purchase that will also foster greater cooperation with the Air Force, according to the agency.

The proposed sale, approved last week and pending final authorization from Congress, will improve Ukraine’s ability to meet threats by ensuring that its pilots are well-trained, the department said in a statement.
