The Netherlands and Denmark will provide Ukraine with much sought-after F-16 aircraft, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the Danish foreign ministry said on Sunday.
Speaking at a joint Dutch-Ukrainian press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Eindhoven airport, Rutte said the two countries would “commit to delivering F-16 aircraft to Ukraine” once “the conditions for such a transfer have been met.” Zelensky hailed the agreement as “historic” and “the most important” one yet. “The Netherlands became the first country to agree to provide Ukraine with F-16s after training. I am very grateful,” he added.
“At this moment, the Netherlands still owns 42 F-16s. Out of these 42, we need planes to help training in Denmark and later on in Romania,” the Dutch Prime Minister said. He added that the Netherlands would look into whether all of the remaining planes could be supplied but stated that he could not yet give a definitive number. Rutte said that language training for Ukrainian service personnel was ongoing and military training in Denmark would begin soon.
