The second batch of F-16 fighter jets from Denmark has arrived in Ukraine. The strengthening of the country's air shield will allow for more effective repulsion of Russian missile and drone attacks.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Denmark for its leadership in protecting the lives of Ukrainians. The head of state wrote about this on Telegram.
According to the President, the first batch of F-16 fighter jets provided by Denmark is already shooting down Russian missiles, saving people and infrastructure in Ukraine. Thanks to the second batch of aircraft, the country will be even more effective in repelling enemy attacks.
"The planes from the first batch provided by the Danes are already shooting down Russian missiles and saving our people and infrastructure. Now our air shield has been further strengthened. If all partners were as determined, we would have already managed to prevent Russian terror," the President of Ukraine said.
