Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky travelled to both countries Sunday to finalise the delivery deals.
The Netherlands and Denmark announced on Sunday they will give F-16 warplanes to Ukraine, a long-awaited announcement that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called an important motivation for his country’s forces.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte did not provide a timeframe, saying it depends on how soon Ukrainian crews and infrastructure are ready. A few hours later, Mr Zelensky was received by Ms Frederiksen along with the country’s foreign minister, defence minister and Crown Princess Mary at the Skrydstrup air base in southern Denmark.
Mr Zelensky said the Dutch and Danish donations were a “huge push for other countries who were in doubt” about providing Ukraine with F-16s.
