The Netherlands on Friday announced it will deliver 18 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Russian President Vladimir Putin's invading forces.

Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, revealed the news in a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), in which he said he had informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of his government's decision on the jets.

Government and military officials from both Kyiv and the United States have cited the " game-changing" potential F-16s could bring to Zelensky's forces. Zelensky had long sought the jets, but President Joe Biden had initially resisted his requests before agreeing in May that NATO allies could provide Ukraine with F-16s and teach Ukrainian pilots how to fly them.

In August, the Netherlands and Denmark became the first countries to pledge F-16s to Ukraine before Belgium and Norway later said they would also donate donate some of the their F-16s to Kyiv's forces. Last month, Romania opened a military center to train Ukrainian pilots on how to fly F-16s.

"The delivery of F-16s is one of the most important elements of the agreements made on military support for Ukraine," Rutte said in his X message. "This decision confirms the Netherlands' undiminished commitment to providing Ukraine with the support it needs to respond to the ongoing Russian aggression."
