The second batch of F-16 for Ukraine from Denmark has arrived in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Telegram.

"This is an example of leadership in defending lives that sets Denmark apart. The aircraft from the first batch, provided by the Danish people, 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," the president wrote and thanked the leadership of Denmark and the Danish nation for aid provided.

In July, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that Ukraine would receive three batches of fighter jets from Denmark, for a total of 19. The first batch – six aircraft – was delivered in July.
