"From the start, we have been very clear on the fact that we would provide training, we will provide personnel for training and we will also provide our own F-16s, for example, two-seater F-16s, to be part of the training missions that will take place throughout Europe in the next months," he said.
He also added that Belgium would provide maintenance to F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine would receive and provide training to Ukrainian personnel so that they could maintain the planes.
"From 2025 on, Belgium will be in a position to supply F-16s to Ukraine," De Croo said.
