< p _ngcontent-sc148="" class="news-annotation">Debates have begun among NATO countries on the transfer of modern fighter jets to Ukraine. Poland has stated that it is ready to transfer the planes to the Ukrainian military, but only after a consensus is reached among NATO members.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki made the corresponding statement. He said that the debate about fighters is now at the very beginning.

The decision on the supply of fighters to Ukraine should come from NATO
