Denmark and the Netherlands yesterday said they would be supplying the jets.
COPENHAGEN: Russia today condemned a decision by Denmark and the Netherlands to donate F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, saying the move would escalate the conflict.
“The fact that Denmark has now decided to donate 19 F-16 aircraft to Ukraine leads to an escalation of the conflict,” Russian ambassador Vladimir Barbin said in a statement cited by the Ritzau news agency. Danish defence minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen said Ukraine may only use the donated F-16s within its own territory.
