Russian Foreign Ministry: European Countries Involved in the Ukraine Conflict

The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that "the plans of European countries to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets and Mi-24 helicopters confirm their increasing involvement in the conflict over Ukraine." She added, "The Czech army intends to deliver its Russian-made Mi-24 helicopters to Ukraine after receiving American combat helicopters. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy undertook a fundraising tour that included the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, which announced their intention to supply Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets. All these actions confirm the hostility of the West toward Russia and their increasing involvement in the ongoing conflict over Ukraine."
