The Netherlands is working "intensively" with other European countries to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. However, there are no concrete commitments yet, as it turned out today at the joint press conference of Ukrainian President Zelensky, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Belgian Prime Minister De Croo in the Catshuis in The Hague.

Zelensky was in the Netherlands today but he wasn't going Dutch begging for more money and weapons.

The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte indicating efforts are underway to get those F-16s to Ukraine in a new escalation of the war.

They are pushing, prodding and hoping to bring down Putin ain't it obvious with the war crimes arrest warrant out for him from the International Criminal Court.

This is more than a war in Ukraine it's regime change in Russia.

It takes hitting the translation prompt to read this article in English.

They're going to find out the reason why the Russian air force isn't all over the place.

This isn't Serbia and Kosovo all over again.

I certainly hope so...he's a murderous tyrant responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

“This isn’t Serbia and Kosovo all over again.”

My big concern is who is going to buy our fighters after having them run up against S400s and S500s?

The latest post 9/11 Neocon Adventure Hillary took out Qadaffi and got her jollies, but Assad was tougher nut thanks to Iran and Russia.

In 2014 the Ukraine regime change taking out the Pro-Russian gov’t now the regime change in Russia on the road to taking on China.

Is Xi going to be deposed from power in the orgasmic fantasies of the Neocons.

The first take down in Libya worked creating chaos in that, Assad failed, Ukraine worked.

The track record not 100 percent.

Rutte is one despicable SOBs in the world. What he’s doing to farmers in the Netherlands is reaching Stalin and Hitler levels.

I suggest this creep declare war on Russia along with any other country wanting to send fighter jets there. Keep us the hell out of it, though.

The Russian air force isn't all over the place because it can't fly: lots of airframes are very close to the end of their service life. Lack of spare parts, trained crews and pilots. Plus Ukrainian air defense is good enough that they have to come in low and slow, which shortens range, leaves them vulnerable to MANPADs, and severely reduces the number of bases available for shorter range sorties, some of which are now within missile or drone range. They are trying to compensate with Russian versions of JDAMs, but the bombs dropped in Berdyansk by their own planes suggest that those aren't working too well.

All of you have been saying for over a year that Russia is "holding back." When are you going to realize there's no there there?

Israeli F35s don’t seem to have much trouble in Syria getting past Russian air defense systems.

That cesspool regime also is putting tens of thousands of Dutch famers out of business, permanently.

Same crap, different theater.

The leader who replaces Putin will respond in ways these idiots can barely imagine.

They ask Russia to shut them off. Not sure if Russia will be as nice to Ukraine.
