Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she hoped the first Danish F-16s could be handed over to Ukraine around New Year. “We want them to be active and operational as soon as possible. … Not for the next month, that’s impossible, but hopefully soon afterward.” The Netherlands did not specify the number of jets it would provide. Mr Zelensky said on his Telegram channel that Ukraine would get 42 jets.
The Dutch and Danish governments are also involved in a coalition that is working to train Ukrainian pilots to fly the advanced fighter jets.
