"UK and Poland strengthen air defense with fighter jet support amid Russia's threats"
TL;DR Summary
Poland and Slovakia have pledged to send Ukraine Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets, falling short of Kyiv's hopes for advanced aircraft. Russia condemned the donations, saying the fighter jets will not alter the course of the war but may cause more suffering to Ukraine. The donations come as Ukraine appeals for new, NATO-standard fighter jets, such as the fourth-generation F-16 jets. The U.K. suggested it could "backfill" NATO countries' supplies of MiG-29 aircraft.
