Ukrainian forces will be allowed to use F-16 fighter jets which they will receive from Denmark and the Netherlands exclusively within the Ukrainian territory. This statement was made on Monday, August 21, by the Danish Minister of Defense, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, citing Reuters.
"We donate weapons under the condition that they are used to drive the enemy out of the territory of Ukraine. And no further than that. Those are the conditions, whether it's tanks, fighter planes or something else," the minister said.
F-16 for Ukraine
The United States recently approved the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands. Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor to the U.S. President, mentioned that Ukraine will receive the aircraft after the completion of pilot training.
The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with 42 American fighter jets, while Denmark will contribute an additional 19.
