Providing Kyiv with F-16 fighters will escalate war: Russian ambassador to Denmark

The Russian ambassador to Denmark warned on Monday that Copenhagen's decision to supply Ukraine with American-made "F-16" fighters to counter the Russian invasion constitutes an "escalation" of the conflict.

On Sunday, Denmark and the Netherlands announced that they will provide Kyiv with "F-16" fighters to enhance its aerial capabilities, while Ukraine continues its counteroffensive against Russian forces in the east.
