During a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the Netherlands confirmed their commitment to providing F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The jets will be delivered once Ukrainian pilots are trained and ready. The announcement was made during a press conference held in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The Dutch Prime Minister stated that the jets will be delivered “as soon as possible” following the completion of training. The Danish Defense Ministry also pledged to donate F-16s to Ukraine’s efforts against Russian aggression. The exact number of F-16s to be provided by the Netherlands and Denmark is yet to be determined. In addition to the fighter jets, the leaders discussed the possibility of upgrading Ukraine’s air defense with anti-aircraft missile systems. This support from the Netherlands and Denmark is seen as crucial in strengthening Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian invaders. Ukraine expressed gratitude for the comprehensive support received from the Netherlands and highlighted the importance of peace and recovery for its territories. The donation of F-16 aircraft by Denmark was hailed as a significant step in Ukraine’s fight for freedom. The Dutch government had previously allocated $130 million in assistance to Ukraine, with funds directed towards repairing the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam that was targeted by Russian forces.
