Ukraine will continue to receive F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands.

Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans said this in an exclusive comment to an Ukrinform correspondent in The Hague.

“I am not sharing any details about the exact number and timing of F-16 deliveries, because then it would be informing Putin and Russia, because we know that these F-16s are a target for them. But I can say that we are continuing to deliver F-16s, and we are not only delivering the aircraft, but we are providing a full package of assistance. This includes spare parts, ammunition, training for both pilots and technicians. That is, everything Ukraine needs to use F-16s to protect its airspace,” the minister said.
