Belgium will begin delivering F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, with initial transfers expected by late 2025. This decision follows the arrival of Belgium"s first U.S.-made F-35 aircraft.
The move is part of Belgium"s ongoing support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict in the region. The delivery of F-16s is anticipated to enhance Ukraine"s defense capabilities.
For further context, recent developments in the region include reports of significant damage to Ukraine"s energy infrastructure, with Russian strikes disabling 60% of the country"s gas production, leading to increased imports, as detailed in earlier coverage.
Belgium"s commitment to supplying F-16s aligns with broader international efforts to support Ukraine during this challenging period.
