(MENAFN) Danish Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen stated on Monday that F-16 fighter planes ready to be bequeathed to Kiev by Denmark as well as the Netherlands must merely be utilized on Ukrainian terrain.

As stated by a news agency, the minister emphasized that both European Union districts are going to “donate the weapons under the condition that they are used to drive the enemy out of the territory of Ukraine. And no further than that.”

Ellemann-Jensen also noted that “those are the conditions, whether it’s tanks, fighter planes or something else.”

Danish Conservative Party Chairman Soren Pape Poulsen has also persisted that the United States-fashioned jets must not function outside Ukrainian terrain regardless of the conditions.

“It is important that they will be used for self-defense in Ukraine. The idea is that the planes are not to be used to enter and attack Russia,” Poulsen stated, emphasizing that “we must remember that there is a dividing line there.”
