There is a runway there, but so far there is no talk of training there are no Ukrainian pilots coming."

According to him, the Netherlands sold these German-made weapons in 2016 for 21 million euros, and now the United States has paid 110 million euros for them.

Later, the same Russian propaganda media took down the news and reported that it was canceled “as released by mistake.” And the Russian Ministry of Defense itself stated that this was a “provocation”: someone sent the media a “false message” on behalf of the press center of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

According to him, 200 million euros have been allocated from the French budget to this fund.
