European countries Denmark and the Netherlands have both agreed to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as the sovereign country’s war with neighboring Russia continues to rage on.

In a statement Sunday, the Danish Foreign Ministry said that both countries have agreed to donate their planes to Ukraine. It said that the planes have been in demand and that the fighter jets will be a crucial necessity for the country to defend its airspace against Russia.

The Foreign Ministry noted that it will work with other countries to join the coalition and contribute to Ukraine’s war.

“It makes me proud that Denmark, together with the Netherlands, will donate F16 fighter jets to Ukraine’s fight for freedom against Russia and their senseless aggression. Denmark’s support for Ukraine is unwavering, and with the donation of F16 aircraft, Denmark is now leading the way,” Danish Defense Minister Jakob Ellemann-Jensen said in a statement.
