Denmark and the Netherlands donate F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine | SBS News
The Netherlands and Denmark will supply F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine with first deliveries due around New Year, the prime ministers of the two NATO countries announced on Sunday during visits by Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy. The pledge is the first real promise of F-16's for Ukraine's armed forces and comes a few days after the United States approved the possible delivery of the fighter jets by the two countries. Zelenskyy called the decision a "breakthrough agreement" and said the planes would help strengthen Ukraine's air defences and help its counter-offensive against Russia's 2022 invasion. - Reuters 0:00 Mark Rutte, Dutch Prime Minister 0:14 Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President 0:52 Zelenskyy sits in cockpit of an F16 1:02 Mette Frederiksen, Danish Prime Minister 2:10 Funny handshake moment between Zelenskyy and Frederiksen Subscribe for more from SBS News or visit https://www.sbs.com.au/news for all the latest updates.
