Poland hands over 8 MiG-29s to Ukraine and plans to supply 6 more – Duda

He said this when asked by an Ukrinform correspondent during a briefing with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Four MiG-29s from our warehouses have been delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in recent months. Four more MiG-29s are being additionally transferred now, which means that eight have already been delivered. We are ready, and I told Mr. President (Volodymyr Zelenskyy - ed.) about this, to transfer six more, which are now being prepared," Duda said.

He also noted that Poland still has MiG-29s modernized to NATO standards, but that the country itself needs these aircraft. However, Duda said that new aircraft – South Korean FA-50s and American F-35s – are due to arrive in Poland, so the country may transfer modernized MiG-29s to Ukraine in the future.

The Polish president emphasized that the allies' consent is needed to supply these aircraft to Ukraine, as they are modernized with American parts.

• On April 5, the Ukrainian president arrived on an official visit to Poland, where he met for talks with his counterpart Andrzej Duda, who later awarded Zelenskyy with the Order of the White Eagle.
