"Under the current schedule, the transfer is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2024," the ministry said in a statement to the Berlingske newspaper. The Scandinavian country initially planned to hand over F-16 fighters to Kiev around the New Year period, the newspaper said. The Netherlands and Denmark were the first countries to agree to supply Ukraine with F-16s. The White House has confirmed that Kiev will receive the US-made jets from third parties as soon as the Ukrainian pilots finish their training. The Dutch defense minister said that the country planned to supply Ukraine with the first batch of F-16s in 2024. In July 2023, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said any delivery of nuclear-capable F-16 fighter jets would lead to a further escalation of the military conflict in Ukraine and be viewed by Russia as a direct threat to its security.
