Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said the Netherlands is working with partners on options for the supply of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. De Telegraaf.
He emphasized that his country has already done a lot for Ukraine, but if you stop now, “everything turns out to be in vain.”
Hoekstra, meanwhile, described the supply of fighter jets to Kiev as a “very sensitive” issue, but noted that there are no “taboos” for Amsterdam, but that there are “problems that the Netherlands cannot solve on its own”, and this is especially true for fighters.
That’s why the Netherlands formed coalitions and conducted “behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Americans and other Europeans,” Hoekstra said.
According to the newspaper’s report, the Netherlands has already transferred more than 1.2 billion euros worth of military products to Ukraine.
