Yesterday, US President Joe Biden told G7 leaders that Washington will endorse supplying advanced warplanes including F-16s to Ukraine and will support efforts to train Kiev's pilots. 

Biden said the United States "will support a joint effort with our allies and partners to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth-generation fighter aircraft, including F-16s, to further strengthen and improve the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force," a White House official revealed.

Furthermore, Group of Seven (G7) leaders warned that China's rapidly growing nuclear arsenal  has become a "concern to global and regional stability."

According to the SIPRI research group, China maintains a stockpile of roughly 350 nuclear weapons, which is relatively small in comparison to the stockpiles of the United States. However, it is allegedly rapidly expanding, and according to a Pentagon estimate issued in November, Beijing might have as many as 1,500 warheads by 2035.
