EINDHOVEN, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Sunday told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday that the Netherlands and Denmark will give F-16 warplanes to Ukraine.

Rutte, meeting with Zelenskyy at a Dutch air base, said the planes would be delivered once unspecified conditions are met.

The announcement came minutes after Rutte and Zelenskyy inspected two gray F-16 jets parked in a hangar at the base.

The offer came two days after the Netherlands and Denmark said the U.S. had authorized the countries to deliver American-made F-16s to Ukraine.
