“We are working with the Poles on this issue and are consulting with the other NATO allies,” said the White House. Dementi comes from Warsaw: “Poland will not send its fighter jets to Ukraine, nor will it allow its airports to be used. We help significantly in many other areas,” the Polish government said. All MiG-29 jets remained at their home bases.
The President of Ukraine, Volodomyr Zelenskyy, asked his Eastern European neighbors to provide aircraft made by Russia. Mainly because Ukrainian pilots are already trained on these fighter planes. Actually, the USA had previously been asked for jets. But the US government would face a number of practical challenges, including how to get the fighter jets into Ukraine.
