Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in a whirlwind of anticipation at a Dutch air force base in Eindhoven earlier today, stirring global attention. The high-profile visit comes hot on the heels of Washington greenlighting the transfer of F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands and Denmark to Ukraine.

While world media watched closely, Zelensky, always one to connect with his followers, took to social media announcing, “Olena and I arrived in the Netherlands with the team.” The outspoken leader hinted at the urgency of his visit, declaring, “The main issue is F-16 for Ukraine to protect our people from Russian terror. We are getting stronger.”

But Zelensky’s Netherlands agenda isn’t just about fighter jets. A rendezvous with outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at the Eindhoven military base is on the cards. However, Rutte’s office remains tight-lipped about the specifics of the meeting, adding to the suspense.

With the U.S.’ recent nod for the jet transfers, Ukraine wasted no time. Kyiv disclosed that training for their pilots had already commenced. Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov divulged that the rigorous program could span at least half a year, with Denmark and Romania playing crucial roles.
