Наші аси героїчно боронять небо. Але Росія має перевагу. Як можуть зараз спати партнери, які досі не надали Україні бойові літаки? Поки діти в Маріуполі, Херсоні, Харкові та інших містах сидять в підвалах під бомбами? Ви можете ухвалити це рішення просто зараз. Зробіть це!

Mr. Borrell said that Mr. Kuleba had requested planes that Ukrainian Air Force pilots can fly. Ukraine’s jet fighters are Soviet-built MiG and Sukhoi models.

Some current EU members that were once part of the USSR-led Warsaw Pact still fly such planes or have old ones parked.

These countries plan to hand over their warplanes to Ukraine:

  • Bulgaria (MiG-29) 16 units
  • Bulgaria (Su-25) 14 units
  • Poland (MiG-29) 28 units
  • Slovakia (MiG-29) 12 units

The aircraft could be deployed at the Polish airport, where Ukrainian pilots will carry out combat missions.
