Poland offers fighter jets to Ukraine

Newsday

Available for over a year

Poland will send four Soviet-era Mig fighter jets to Ukraine - becoming the first country in Nato to send planes since Russia invaded last year. Polish President Andrzej Duda said they would be sent in the coming days, with others handed over in the future. Though a welcome boost to Ukraine's air defence, the extra jets are not expected to be decisive in the war. So why has Poland done this now? And will this set a precedent for other key Nato members to follow suit? Newsday heard from Radek Sikorski - Poland's former defence secretary and foreign minister and now a member of the European parliament. (Pic: Ukrainian fighter jet ARCHIVE; Credit: Reuters)
