Pentagon Rejects NATO Nations Giving Jets to Ukraine

“The Pentagon slammed the door on any plans to provide MiG fighter jets to Ukraine, even through a second country, calling it a ‘high-risk’ venture that would not significantly change the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Air Force,” the AP reports.

“Poland had said it was prepared to hand over MiG-29 planes to NATO that could then be delivered to Ukraine, but Kirby said U.S. intelligence concluded that it could be considered escalatory and trigger a ‘significant’ Russian reaction.”
