Denmark delivers second batch of F-16 fighters to Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on December 7th that Denmark has delivered a second batch of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
Zelensky praised Denmark's leadership in bolstering Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
"With this additional reinforcement, our air shield is stronger than ever," Zelensky stated in a social media post. He expressed gratitude to Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and the Danish people for their continued support.
The first batch of Danish-provided F-16s has already been deployed to the frontlines, and the second batch will further enhance Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian missile attacks.
Zelensky emphasized the importance of international unity in countering Russian aggression. He suggested that if all international partners had shown the same level of commitment, Russia's ability to terrorize Ukraine could have been significantly curtailed.
Denmark has been a strong supporter of Ukraine, offering direct arms purchases from the Ukrainian defense industry and actively participating in a coalition of Nordic and Baltic countries committed to strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities. (ILKHA)
