Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky announces the agreement on the F-16. Putin’s Challenge

F-16 for Ukraine. Zelensky rejoices in the decision to provide his country with the means to defend itself against Russian attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he had “reached an agreement with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the number of F-16s to be transferred to Ukraine once our pilots and engineers complete their training”. With a tweet, Zelensky spoke of “42 jets” and stated that “this is just the beginning. Thank you Holland! ​to keep Russian terrorists out of Ukrainian cities and towns,” added Zelensky.

In fact, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was on a visit to the Netherlands, where he examined the F-16 fighter jets he was hoping to get from Amsterdam at a Dutch air base. Accompanied by former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the Kiev leader watched two planes in a hangar, two days after Washington gave the green light to the Netherlands and Denmark to supply fighter jets to Ukraine.
