Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen pledged 19 F-16s to Ukraine and said she hoped the first six could be handed over around New Year. Zelensky called the Dutch and Danish donations a “huge push for other countries who were in doubt” about providing Ukraine with F-16s. Zelensky declined to say how many Ukrainian pilots would undergo training in Denmark and later in Romania, citing security reasons. Russian air defenses also jammed a drone flying toward Moscow early Sunday, causing it to crash. Ukrainian authorities, who generally avoid commenting on attacks on Russian soil, didn’t say whether Ukraine had any involvement.
