Ukraine: The United States no longer opposes the dispatch of fighter jets from Poland
According to Ukraine, the United States will not oppose the transfer of fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine so that Ukraine can better resist Russia’s invasion of the country.
– Washington representatives do not oppose the transfer of the aircraft. In our understanding, the ball is now in Poland. We will raise this issue in our discussions with our Polish colleagues, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba told AFP in its written comments.

Poland has stated its support for a plan to send Soviet-era Mig-29 fighter jets to Ukraine via the Rammstein air base in Germany.
