The Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated that Ukraine’s permission to strike within Russia using Danish-supplied F-16s will be based on the circumstances, ensuring it aligns with international law. Denmark, along with the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway, has pledged F-16 jets to Ukraine for defense against Russian aggression.
While some countries allow strikes within Russia, others limit the use of F-16s to Ukrainian territory. Frederiksen emphasized the need for more international support to counter Russia’s airpower and defend European values. She dismissed concerns of escalation, attributing the responsibility for the war to Russia.
