Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Alexander De Croo sign new security pact.
Ukraine and Belgium have signed a security agreement which includes the delivery of 30 U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets, in a move to bolster Kyiv’s defense capabilities against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ongoing invasion.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo agreed on a plan that “includes at least €977 million in Belgian military aid to Ukraine this year,” the Ukranian president announced Tuesday, during a visit to Belgium.
De Croo had already announced last year that Belgium would send F-16s to Ukraine in 2025 — without saying how many. Crucially, he also said at the time that the main condition would be whether the next government also agrees to do so, as Belgium is headed toward an election in June.
I’m from NL, we only have 24 F16’s and I doubt they all work lol. But we also have 34 F35’s, although I doubt they are all flight ready. But I completely agree, we should follow Belgium by sending our F16’s too, next to the anti air we are gathering to send. We should all send more to support Ukraine! Even troops imo. They are fighting a battle not for just them, but for all of us.
But my initial comment was to make fun of Belgium, because whenever Dutchies have a chance to do so, they will. And vice versa right? Although I love the Belgians! Don’t get me wrong!
The more we all send now, the fewer of our kids are going to die in the Baltics in ten years.
No, we don’t mock the superior version of ourselves, you magnificent creature.
I’ve had many Belgian colleagues in the navy, besides them I know many others. They sure make a lot of fun of us and honestly, their jokes are way more accurate then ours haha! I’m surrounded by stupid, seriously. Look at our government and how we voted. It’s fucking embarrassing and it’s getting even worse. I want to move to Norway or something.
The Vlaams Belang will likely get a ton of votes, we ain’t better.
Europe in general is a fucking shit show. Every 4th of May we remember the dead from the second World War and any war after that. “We need to remember, so it will never happen again.” Europe is going further and further extreme right, supporting genocide of a Palestinian ghetto, voting for people shouting 30s Germany slogans. Just go drop them nukes please, first one right in top of my head, please and thank you. I don’t want to live in this fucked up world anymore.
