Poland’s prime minister says his government may hand its Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter jets over to Ukraine “within the next four to six weeks.” Poland’s leaders said last week that sending the warplanes would be only done within a larger international coalition.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on March 14 said that Warsaw could send its MiGs within weeks, but didn't clarify whether there was any coalition ready to follow suit. Ukraine's air force is familiar with MiG-29s and could use the planes right away. To read the original story by AP, click here.
