Denmark’s donation of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will be delayed by months, the Berlingske newspaper reported, citing the Nordic country’s ministry of defense.
One of the biggest contributors to Ukraine’s defense, Denmark was due to supply the first six of the aircraft around the new year, but they’ll instead be delivered some time during the second quarter, the ministry said, according to the newspaper.
