“Here we will act in full coordination,” Morawiecki said, recalling that the same thing happened when the issue of the transfer of MiG-29s, which are in service with several Eastern European countries, to the Kyiv regime was raised. In the end, their deliveries never took place. True, according to some Polish media, Warsaw nevertheless sent several Soviet combat aircraft to Ukraine under the pretext of transferring spare parts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky raised the issue of fighter jet deliveries after Germany was convinced to allow the transfer of Leopard tanks to the Kyiv regime.
As Morawiecki admitted, Warsaw pressured Berlin to remove export restrictions. However, the German authorities relaxed only after the United States agreed to send its Abrams tanks to Ukraine. As expected, Leopard 2 will be transferred to Kyiv in the spring, but American cars will appear in Ukraine, most likely, not earlier than August, or even at the end of the year.
The idea of transferring combat aircraft to the Ukrainian side was supported by the chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen. However, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz assured that he was not going to send any planes or soldiers to Ukraine.
