Reuters: Slovakia sends MIG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine - PM
(Reuters) -Slovakia on Friday became the second of Ukraine's allies to provide MIG-29 fighter jets which Kyiv believes are crucial to repel Russia's year-long invasion.
Slovakia joined Poland, which announced its delivery of the planes on Thursday.
Both the NATO members neighbour Ukraine. Its fleet of 11 MiG-29 planes was retired last summer and most of them are not in operational condition.
It will send those that are operational and the rest will go for spare parts. Slovakia will also supply part of its KUB air-defence system, Prime Minister Eduard Heger said.
"Today, the government decided and unanimously approved an international agreement (on the donation)," Heger said.
