(Worthy News) – The Netherlands and Denmark will give F-16 warplanes to Ukraine as soon as Ukrainian crews and infrastructure are ready for the powerful US-made jets, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday.
Zelensky welcomed the “historic” announcement and praised Rutte for making the Netherlands the first country to offer the planes. The announcement came minutes after the two leaders inspected two gray F-16 jets parked in a hangar at a Dutch air base where Zelensky arrived Sunday morning.
Rutte declined to say how many planes would be delivered, nor when, except to say “as soon as possible.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
