Denmark has already handed over 12 of the 19 promised F-16 fighters to Ukraine, and the rest will be delivered in 2025.

This was announced by Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.

"It is a great honor for me that Denmark was able to commit to transfer 19 F-16 aircraft. 12 of them have been delivered. The rest will also be in the skies of Ukraine this year," he said.

According to him, this decision was preceded by lengthy discussions, but the country, together with the Netherlands, was able to do it.

"And we have to do even more. I think Europe needs to step up. The connection between Ukraine and Europe is very, very important. It is also very important that Europe can do even more and invest even more in military capabilities," Mr. Poulsen emphasized.

According to him, Europe is eager to do more. He assured of Denmark's broad support for Ukrainians.

Europe may need its own military alliance - Merz

Quote:
It is possible that Europe will have to create its own military alliance instead of NATO, which will be independent of the United States.

This was stated by the likely candidate for the post of the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Censor.NET reports citing RBC-Ukraine.

Answering questions from journalists, the leader of the German CDU suggested that NATO may not survive in its current form. Then, according to the politician, Europe may need its own military alliance, independent of the United States.

"Germany can no longer rely on the protection of the US army's nuclear umbrella," Merz said.

The politician added that in this regard, it is necessary to hold talks with the UK and France to extend their nuclear support to other European countries.

At the same time, Merz wants to strengthen the German armed forces. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3537637
