The F-16 fighter jets transferred by the Netherlands to Ukraine can be used for attacks on Russia, but not against civilian facilities, Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans told the NOS TV channel, Paralel.Az reports.

According to him, Ukraine can use the F-16 jets transferred by the Netherlands, including over the territory of Russia, provided that the laws of war are observed. In particular, it is stipulated that attacks should not be directed against civilian facilities. "Ukraine is definitely not allowed to do this," the minister emphasized. "This is the condition we have set," he said.

At the same time, Ukraine has the right to attack military targets in Russia, according to the Netherlands. This includes intercepting missiles over Russia and attacking airfields from which Russian fighter jets take off, Brekelmans said.
