Ukraine

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he hopes other countries will join Denmark and the Netherlands, countries which have decided to supply Kyiv with F-16 fighter jets. The Ukrainian leader made the statements at a military air base in Denmark, where he met with the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen. Denmark and the Netherlands will send Ukraine 61 F-16s. It was agreed that the planes would be transferred to the Ukrainian Air Force in close cooperation with the US and other partners, when the conditions for such a transfer are met. Conditions include, but are not limited to, successfully selected, tested and trained Ukrainian F-16 personnel as well as the necessary authorizations, infrastructure and logistics. Ukrainian pilot training will take place in several NATO countries, including Romania.
