The transfer will be made from income from frozen Russian assets.
In Belgium they said they would transfer Ukraine F-16 fighters already in 2024, but no exact dates were given.
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De said this at a joint briefing Kroo and Belgian Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder, transmitting BRF.
The Belgian Defense Minister said that. The country wants to transfer aircraft to protect Ukraine as quickly as possible. Brussels is doing everything possible to ensure that the deliveries take place this year.
In addition, the minister emphasized that Belgium’s defense capability will not suffer in any way from the transfer of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine.
The head of the Belgian government said that the transfer of the aircraft would be financed by income from frozen Russian assets, and not by Belgian taxpayers.
We recall that it was previously reported that Ukrainian pilots in France began training for flights on the F-16.
In addition, we previously informed that it became known when the first F-16s with pilots will appear in Ukraine.
