Poland has handed over to Ukraine almost all of its MiG-29 fighters, Polish President Andrzej Duda told reporters in Reykjavik.
Earlier in May, it was reported that Poland had handed Ukraine 14 MiG-29 aircraft.
“We have handed over to Ukraine almost all of our MiG-29s, as Ukraine asked us to do,” Duda said. His speech was broadcast by Polish television.
“We have a small number of F-16 aircraft. We are ready to support the process of training of Ukrainian pilots. At the same time, the number of F-16s we have does not allow today to talk about transferring any part of them to Ukraine,” Duda added.
Russia earlier sent a note to NATO countries over arms supplies to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that any cargo containing weapons for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian foreign ministry said that NATO countries were “playing with fire” by supplying weapons to Ukraine. Russian presidential press secretary Dmitriy Peskov said that pumping weapons into Ukraine from the West did not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian talks and would have a negative effect. Lavrov said that the US and NATO were directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, “including not only by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel… on the territory of the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries”.
