Cafe: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hard work paid off and he was finally assured of F-16 fighter jets in the war against Russia, which Russia has expressed deep anger over.

According to the World News Agency, since the beginning of the war, President Zelensky has been demanding the supply of F-16 aircraft and anti-aircraft air defense systems from European countries for victory against Russia.

Despite the meetings with the presidents of the United States and the United Kingdom, the address to the European Union and repeating the demand in various forums of the world powers, long silence was bothering Ukraine.

However, Denmark and the Netherlands have now removed President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s doubts by announcing the delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Denmark will provide a total of 19 aircraft to Ukraine. The Netherlands has 42 F-16s but it is not yet clear how many will be sent.

Foreign media claimed that at the beginning of next year, six F-16 aircraft will be given to Ukraine, while other aircraft will also be provided, but these aircraft will only be able to be used by Ukraine in its territory.

The President of Ukraine said that the F-16 aircraft will balance the power politics in the region and we will have a great opportunity to defend ourselves. It will also increase the determination and courage of the Ukrainian army.

On the other hand, Russia, taking a threatening attitude, has warned that the supply of F-16 fighter jets by Denmark and the Netherlands to Ukraine will further intensify the war.

The Russian ambassador added that the supply of F-16s will prolong the war and will be met with a strong response.

Dozens of Ukrainian Air Force pilots will be trained to fly the F-16, but will not be able to operate the F-16 fighter jet until this fall or winter.
