Reuters: Poland to Send Ukraine 4 MiG-29 Jets in Coming Days
WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will send Ukraine four MiG-29 fighter jets in coming days, the president said on Thursday, making it the first of Kyiv's allies to provide such aircraft.

It has said that any transfer of jets would be as part of a coalition.

"The rest are being prepared, serviced." On Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that deliveries could be made in four to six weeks.
