Poland to Send Fighter Jets to Ukraine, Breaking with NATO Allies.

Poland has pledged to send four MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, becoming the first NATO member to do so. The planes will be handed over in the coming days after being serviced. Warsaw has taken a lead among NATO allies in supplying Kyiv with heavy weapons. The announcement that Poland will send the Soviet-designed planes marks a break from the alliance, and could put pressure on other member states to do the same. Meanwhile, Polish authorities said nine people belonging to an alleged espionage ring had been detained, suspected of “collaborating” with the Russian secret service agency FSB.
