Germany Allows Poland to Transfer Fighter Jets to Ukraine

  • Germany has approved Poland's request to send five MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine in order to strengthen its forces in the conflict with Russia.
  • The fighter jets were originally part of East Germany's military and became German property after reunification.
  • Poland has already given four MiG-29s to Ukraine and is preparing to transfer more.
  • Although Germany is one of Ukraine's biggest arms suppliers, it has shown no signs of directly providing fighter jets.
  • The transfer is meant to bolster Ukraine's air force in the face of the Russian invasion in the east of the country.
