EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte tells Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the Netherlands and Denmark will give F-16 warplanes to Ukraine.
Rutte, meeting with Zelensky at a Dutch air base, says the planes will be delivered once unspecified conditions are met.
The announcement comes minutes after Rutte and Zelensky inspected two gray F-16 jets parked in a hangar at the base.
The offer comes two days after the Netherlands and Denmark said the US had authorized the countries to deliver American-made F-16s to Ukraine.
