Ukraine will have the right to use F-16s provided by Belgium only on Ukrainian territory. Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said this at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The rules for the use of fighter jets are set out in the security agreement signed today in Brussels. The agreement only covers use within Ukraine.

"Everything that is included in our agreement is clearly written. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to use them on Ukrainian territory," he said.

De Croo added that Belgium is committed to delivering several aircraft this year, and other countries will do the same.
