Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calls for Western powers to urgently decide on a Polish offer that would see his country supplied with fighter jets.
“When will there be a decision? Look, we’re at war!” Zelensky says in a video on his Telegram channel. “We ask you again to decide as soon as possible. Send us planes.”
Yesterday, the United States rejected a plan put forward by Poland to send its fleet of Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine via a US air base in Ramstein, Germany.
Poland had suggested that its air force would receive F-16 fighters as replacements.
“We have seen in the media that there are discussions between the American and Polish sides. But we sense that the Polish offer is not supported,” says Zelensky.
“We don’t have time for the media, for all these signals. This isn’t ping-pong. It’s human lives,” he adds.
