To spread: Brussels will send several F-16 fighters already in September this year. Total military assistance to Ukraine will reach up to 1 billion euros a year. Belgium's obligations in the military sphere are long -term and specific, up to 1 billion euros annually up to 2029. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium Maxim Prevo at a briefing following the meeting in the format "Ukraine-Benilux" in Odessa. "You will receive several F-16 aircraft next month.

Our partnership brings the victory of Ukraine and guarantees the stability of the region," he said briefly. The number of transmitted aircraft did not specify. Belgium will also send a ship to find mines, underwater drones and promises to participate in the main coalitions - from air defense to mine. "We are working as aircraft with air defense and miners. More than 3,000 soldiers, pilots and technicians have been prepared . . .

This is not abstract solidarity, but actual support for the protection of your sea, sky and freedom," the Belgian minister stressed. Prevo promises that Belgium will participate in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine with an international mandate, but only after the ceasefire. Among other things, he announced the allocation of 20 million euros for the "food initiative" of Ukraine. "The port [in Odessa] is exporting even more than before. It is not only economic success.
