He wrote about this on social media.

"The second batch of F-16s from Denmark is already in Ukraine. This is the leadership in protecting life that distinguishes Denmark," Zelenskyy said.

He added that the first batch of planes provided by the Danes are already shooting down Russian missiles and saving Ukrainian people and infrastructure.

"Now our air shield has been further strengthened. If all partners were so determined, we would have managed to prevent Russian terror," the president emphasized.

He thanked Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen, her team, and the entire Danish people.

Denmark promised to provide Ukraine with a total of 19 fighter jets, of which 6 were delivered earlier. The remaining 13 aircraft were to be delivered in two batches.

  • During a press conference with Zelenskyy on November 19, the Danish prime minister announced the transfer of two more batches of F-16s to Ukraine.
