Ukraine has received a second batch of F-16 fighter jets from Denmark, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday.

Denmark has committed to delivering a total of 19 F-16s to Ukraine in three phases, with the first six jets transferred in July.

Zelenskyy wrote on X: “The second batch of F-16s from Denmark has arrived in Ukraine. This is an example of leadership in defending lives that sets Denmark apart.”

He added that the first batch of F-16 fighters provided by Denmark “are already intercepting Russian missiles, saving our people’s lives and our infrastructure.”

“Now, our air shield has been further strengthened. If all partners were as determined, Russian terror could already have been made impossible.” He also thanked Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, her team and the entire Danish nation for its support to Ukraine.
