Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Belgium will deliver three F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine by year-end, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy announced, aiming to bolster air defense amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

Zelenskiy confirmed the transfer, citing an agreement with Belgium, and highlighted urgent deliveries of F-16 ammunition from Belgium and Spain. He also noted the arrival of a NASAMS air defense system jointly developed by the U.S. and Norway.

The move comes as Ukraine seeks to secure a steady supply of Patriot missiles for air defense and improve interceptors against Russian drones. Zelenskiy emphasized the need for continued efforts to counter rising drone threats.

Trump criticized Chinese involvement in AI safety, stressing the U.S. must maintain technological leadership while avoiding collaboration with China on oversight measures.
