First delivery could be as early this year but it comes with a condition of no strikes beyond Ukraine's internationally recognised borders.
. Denmark’s defence minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen said on Monday that the F-16s, once transferred to Ukraine, must not stray from their own internationally recognised borders and only be used to re-take Russian-occupied land.
He said, Reuters reports: “We donate weapons under the condition that they are used to drive the enemy out of the territory of Ukraine. And no further than that… Those are the conditions, whether it’s tanks, fighter planes or something else.” Ukraine has made clear it intends to roll back Russia’s invasions to the 1991 borders of the state, including taking back what Russia has occupied since 2014.
Ukraine said the arrival of the F-16s would help them push back Russia’s invasion, with President Zelensky saying the aircraft would “produce fresh results for Ukraine”. Despite big early promises, Ukraine’s counteroffensive push this year has been slow, with Ukrainian leaders blaming the lack of progress on the West’s failure to give them the jets sooner., Valery Zaluzhny, the head of Ukraine’s armed forces said in July: “Every day, every meter is given by blood… I do not need 120 planes.
