Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, said on October 31 that Ukraine still expects to receive Soviet MiG-29 jet fighters from Poland.
In July, the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Warsaw could provide Kyiv additional Soviet-made jet fighters if it is able to find a suitable replacement.
After Zelensky called for a speedy transfer, Wladyslaw Ksiniak Kamysz, the Polish Defense Minister, said that “Poland takes decisions based on security and has done everything possible for Ukraine.”
“We agreed with NATO to provide them (Poland), with a police missions, just like our Baltic Friends, who don’t have their own planes, but have a such a mission,” Zelensky stated.
“We agreed, but did Poland deliver the planes after that?” No. Was there another cause? “Yes,” the president replied without providing any further details.
Zelensky said that Ukraine “constantly requested” Poland to shoot Russian missiles flying its way, especially to protect the gas-storage facility in Stryi, Ukraine’s Lviv Oblast. Stryi is located about 100 kilometers (62miles) east of the Ukrainian border.
“We do have the right number of (air defence) systems, but not enough to protect the gas storage facility.” What about the Poles? Are they shooting down the planes? No. The Poles said that we are prepared to shoot down any aircraft if we were not alone in our decision; if NATO supported us.”
During previous attacks on Ukraine, Russian missiles and drones entered Poland’s skies. Tusk said that Polish allies told the government to be cautious when dealing with unidentified violations of airspace.
Early in July, Ukraine signed a bilateral agreement with Poland on security. The agreement included a commitment from both sides to “examine the feasibility of possible intercepting missiles and UAVs in Ukraine’s Airspace fired in the direction the territory of Poland following necessary procedures agreed upon by the states and organisations involved.”
Then NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg was sceptical about this part of the agreement. He said that it puts the Alliance at risk of “becoming a part of the conflict.”
After a Russian drone crossed Poland’s border during an attack on Ukraine on August 26, the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Skorski began to insist that Poland has the right to shoot down air targets.
The minister said the risk of Polish casualties increased the closer the missile was to its target at the time it was intercepted. Therefore, it would be better to shoot the missile down from a higher altitude above Ukraine.
Donald Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister, said in July that Warsaw could provide Kyiv additional Soviet-made jets if they can find a suitable replacement. Wladyslaw KOSINIAK-KAMYSZ, the Polish Defense Minister, responded to Zelensky’s call for a speedy transfer by saying, “Poland takes decisions based upon its security, and has already done all it can for Ukraine.”
In an interview published by the South Korean KBS TV on October 31, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed to the West the fact that North Korea actively participates in the war against Ukraine.
“You do your job. You rely on reserves, special brigades and such equipment. If you get 10% of the package that has already been voted upon, then that’s a good start. Zelensky said, “It’s not funny.”
“Security and defense will be the priority of the budget for next year.” All taxes paid by individuals and businesses will be used to strengthen our military capabilities and defenders, Prime Minister Denys smyhal announced on his Telegram channel.
