FOD is something to avoid when operating aircraft, everywhere. Meaning clean is clean enough, and if it isn't an emergency landing strips are prepared (basic maintenance, personal facilities, fuel...)

Regarding Ukraine, if it is internet grief, it is fair to assume it is wrong.

And besides, F-16s have operated from Ukrainian airbases before the war in joint exercises. It's not as if US aircraft are fragile snowflakes.
