Britain and the Netherlands work to procure F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte have agreed to build an international coalition to help procure F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine, as the British government has announced.

“The prime minister reiterated his belief that Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO, and the leaders agreed on the importance of allies providing long-term security assistance to Ukraine to guarantee they can deter future attacks,” a Downing Street spokesperson said.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed a pledge by the UK and the Netherlands, saying it is a “good start.”
