  1. “”Ukraine is allowed to use Dutch F-16s on Russian territory, according to Chief of Defense Onno Eichelsheim in an interview with NOS. He stated, “We have placed no restrictions on the use and range of the F-16s, as long as they comply with the laws of war.”

    …..

    “The Chief of Defense of the Netherlands stated that he has no issue with Ukraine using Dutch weapons in offensive actions, as long as they comply with international humanitarian law. He mentioned that the U.S. shares this stance to some extent, though they have different restrictions and weapon systems. The Netherlands has provided 24 F-16 jets to Ukraine, but the number already in use has not been disclosed.”

    Deze is nog voor MH17🇺🇦

  2. Except by doing so, it might compromise further US aid packages if Joke Sullivan has any say.

  4. This means that the Dutch haven’t set limitations. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t other (US) limitations.

  5. According to Vlad, it’s not someone else’s country if your flag is on it. So …

  6. Please note that this chief of defense is of the so called “farmers” party. Which often gets accussed of being pro ruzzia, incorrectly.

  7. Caveat:

    US says to Ukraine: if you use Western weapons in Russia proper, we will not support you anymore.

    So whatever an individual country says has little to no weight, since Ukraine will not use them there anyways for fear of losing US support.
