The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced the agreement reached with NATO regarding the transfer of Soviet MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine by Poland. However, despite these agreements, the Polish side, according to Zelenskyi, found "another reason" for the delay in the transfer of the planes.
It will be recalled that earlier the President of Poland said that Poland can transfer MiG fighters to Ukraine, but only on the condition that the West provides the country with alternative aircraft for defense.
Today, Zelenskyi said that he agreed with the former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg to compensate Warsaw for the planes transferred, but Poland still refused.
"We really wanted to get MiGs from Poland, but they couldn't give us them because they didn't have enough of their own. That's why we agreed with NATO that they will assign them a police mission, like our Baltic friends. We agreed on that. And what after that? Did Poland give us planes? No. Found another reason? Yes," Zelensky said at a press conference in Transcarpathia.
The president also reproached Warsaw for not agreeing to shoot down Russian missiles flying towards Poland over Ukraine.
We will remind you that Ukraine also unsuccessfully asks Poland to hand over the weapons it buys from South Korea. Warsaw replies that it is buying it for itself.
