 Poland will send fighter jets to Ukraine. Polish President Andrzej Duda says his country will deliver four MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine in the next few months, making Poland the first NATO country to supply fighter planes to Ukraine. When it comes to the MiG-29 aircraft, which are still operating in the defence of Polish airspace, a decision had to be taken at the highest levels. We can say confidently that we are sending MiGs to Ukraine, Duda said. Speaking at a news conference in Warsaw with his Czech counterpart, Peter Paweł, the Polish president expressed the two countries' joint backing for Kiev. The Czech Republic and Poland are countries that are in the absolute vanguard when it comes to supporting Ukraine. Both at humanitarian and military levels, President Duda said. Poland is a strong ally of Ukraine, one of the largest suppliers of military equipment. It is currently replacing its old Soviet-era planes with newer American and Korean models. The deputy speaker of Ukraine's parliament, Olena Kondratiuk, said she hoped more countries would follow. Other NATO countries are considering sending the Soviet-era planes, which Ukrainian pilots are trained to fly. Unlike F-16s and other fighter jets, Ukraine has been flying Soviet-era MiG-29s for decades and could start using them right away.
