On the F-16s, we are on schedule, which means that later this year they will be in Ukrainian skies, but there is still a lot to do and one of the things we agreed on today is to speed up the process in the sense that we need to make sure that there are no obstacles that could cause delays. We also discussed the possibilities of how to accelerate this process
He also noted that he would ask the Ukrainian and Dutch Defense Ministries to work on speeding up the transfer of F-16s with their coalition partners.
So we will ask our defense ministries to work on this together with our partners - Norway, Belgium and other countries that are part of the F-16 coalition, because Ukraine needs this air superiority as soon as possible
