The Netherlands will deliver 18 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to help its battle against Russia’s invasion, the Dutch government said yesterday.
“Today I informed president Zelensky of our government’s decision to prepare an initial 18 F-16 fighter aircraft for delivery to Ukraine,” caretaker prime minister Mark Rutte said in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
