Second batch of F-16s from Denmark arrives in Ukraine – Zelensky
President Volodymyr Zelensky shared the news on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
"The second batch of F-16s from Denmark has arrived in Ukraine. This is an example of leadership in defending lives that sets Denmark apart. The aircraft from the first batch, provided by the Danish people, are already intercepting Russian missiles, saving our people’s lives and our infrastructure," the President noted.
He added that Ukraine's "air shield" has now been further reinforced. "If all partners were as determined, Russian terror could already have been made impossible," Zelensky emphasized.
As previously reported, on August 20, President Zelensky and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen visited the Skrydstrup air base, where they inspected one of the F-16 aircraft. During the visit, President Zelensky also spoke with Ukrainian pilots undergoing training on the use of F-16s.
