“Today will be concrete. They will be in the Ukrainian sky. Thank you Netherlands! Thank you Mark! Thank you everyone who is helping,” he said. Rutte and he had agreed on the delivery of the jet. “This is just the beginning,” he said.
In addition to the Netherlands, Denmark had also declared its willingness to deliver the F-16 fighter jet from the USA.
