Ukraine war: Zelenskyy hails ‘historic’ Dutch F-16 deal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the decision by the Netherlands to hand over F-16 planes to Kyiv to help it battle the Russian invasion as “historic”.
“The third point for today is absolutely historic, powerful and inspiring for us,” Zelensky said at a press conference with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at an air base in Eindhoven. “This is another step towards strengthening Ukraine’s air shield.”
Ukraine has long called for warplanes, which it says are essential to counter Russia's air force.
