"Together with the First Lady and the team, we arrived in the Netherlands. As always, we will have substantive talks with Prime Minister Mark Rutte," the President writes.
According to him, the main issue he will raise during the visit to the Netherlands is the F-16 supply to Ukraine.
The agenda also includes:

- Peace Formula;
- holding Russia accountable.
F-16s for Ukraine
For a long time, Ukrainian officials and military personnel have been urging Western allies to start delivering modern F-16 fighter jets, which are necessary for the defense against constant Russian attacks. With these jets, Ukrainian forces will be able to compete with Russian aviation.
On August 17, the United States approved the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands. The American fighter jets will be provided to Ukraine after pilot training is completed.
