NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway are transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to strengthen its defenses against Russia. The transfer of the jets is underway, and Ukrainian pilots have been trained by the RAF and partner nations for advanced fast jet training. President Joe Biden approved the transfer of American-made F-16s to Ukraine last August, despite concerns about training time. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that the transfer of jets sends a signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the strength of Ukraine and its allies. Peace can be achieved through a strong Ukraine.
