Ukraine has reached an important milestone with the deployment of its first F-16 fighter jets. Denmark and the Netherlands have worked closely together to provide these aircraft, clearly reflecting strong support for Ukraine’s struggle for freedom and democracy.

Denmark’s Minister of Defense, Troels Lund Poulsen, stated in a written comment that the Danish donation of F-16 jets underscores Denmark’s unconditional support for Ukraine. “We support Ukraine’s fight for freedom and democracy with ambitious actions,” emphasized the minister, who views the delivery as a significant gesture of support.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that Ukraine is now employing the newly delivered F-16 jets in operations within its borders. This development marks a crucial advance in the country’s defensive capabilities.

Denmark and the Netherlands coordinated their efforts to deliver the American-made fighter jets to Ukraine, and Norway is also in the process of sending similar aircraft. This collective European initiative illustrates how multiple nations are coming together to support Ukraine during this critical time that calls for international solidarity.
