We have been urged by the other countries in the coalition to wait with the Gripen system.
We will be at Ukraine's side for as long as it takes.
If (Ukraine) cannot attack military targets on Russian territory then it ties one hand of the Ukrainians on their back and makes it very hard for them to conduct defense.
We are withstanding, but of course we need more weapons, we need more firing power, we need long-range missiles, not to allow them to enter our state.
Their objective is to open a new front in the north to start using all their manpower, firing power, against us, they are continuing with their objective to destroy the nation.
The document includes at least 977 million euros in Belgian military aid to Ukraine this year, as well as Belgium's commitment to providing support over the course of the agreement's ten-year term.
Even those partners who are afraid to give this or that advice should understand that air defense is defense, not attack.
We need to work together and put pressure not only on Russia, but also on our partners to give us the opportunity to defend ourselves against Russia.
For the first time, such an agreement specifies the exact number of F-16 fighter jets – 30 – that will be delivered to Ukraine until 2028.
