Polish President Andrzej Duda said that his country is ready to transfer its MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine as part of an international coalition. He also noted the need to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighters.
According to CNN, the United States is already working with Ukrainian pilots in the US to determine how long it will take them to learn how to fly various US military aircraft, including the F-16. Two Ukrainian soldiers are at a military base in the United States, where their skills are tested on flight simulators.
Poland ready to provide MiG-29 to Ukraine
Duda said that Warsaw is ready to provide Ukraine with the remaining part of the MiG-29 fighters in Poland, which serves in its air force.
We are ready to transfer these planes, and I am sure that Ukraine will be ready to use them immediately,” the Polish leader added.
According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will want to strive for NATO standards. Duda believes that Ukrainians will use F-16 aircraft in the future.
“Therefore, the training of Ukrainian pilots is important and essential,” the President of Poland stressed.
Ukraine needs artillery
Duda stressed, referring to his conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky, that long-range artillery is a key military need for Ukraine.
What is most needed now is long-range artillery to push the enemy back and avoid direct confrontations. Because the Russians are trying to crush Ukraine, crush it with the weight of their armed forces, their size and their equipment. – said the Polish leader.
He added that in order to maintain global peace, it is necessary that Russia be defeated in Ukraine.
“In order to maintain peace throughout the world, in the countries of Central Europe and other countries influenced by Russian imperialism, and for all these countries to live a peaceful and secure life, Russia must come out of this war as a defeated. It must be defeated” – summed up the President of Poland.
Note! Duda made his first bilateral visit to Abu Dhabi in 13 years to keep the Emirati leaders safe from Russian propaganda and to tell how the situation in Ukraine is from a “very close perspective”. After all, more than a year, since Russia started the war, the United Arab Emirates, like most countries in the Middle East, adhere to neutrality. The energy-rich Gulf states have benefited from the rise in prices caused by the war in Ukraine, which have added tens of billions of dollars to their coffers, and the Kremlin continues to seek financial flight to the markets of the UAE.
