The supposed delivery of Poland supplied MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine claimed by the US is irresponsible; the EU is not keen on risking any conflict with Russia.
Poles are calling the attempt by the US to push the European Union into a war they don't want. They've sent considerable assistance to Ukraine, including taboo weapons, and have taken refugees in.
Fighter Planes Sent to Ukraine
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced on CBS's Face the Nation we are interacting with the Poles and reviewing the issue with the rest of NATO countries, reported Eurasian Times.
When he visited Moldova on March 6, he stated that they are presently looking at the possibility of Poland delivering planes to Ukraine and how to backfill if Poland agrees to give those planes. Unfortunately, no timeline was disclosed, cited Al Jazeera.
Bulgaria and Slovakia had previously rejected the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine. According to Politico, the discussions are now centered on deploying American-built jets to supplant the MiG-29s in Warsaw.
Blinken's Ideas
Hearing of this, Warsaw had a different idea from Blinken's, and the Americans would pressure the poles.
The Polish Prime Minister's Chancellery denied claims that the government is negotiating with Washington to supply its fighter plane fleet if Warsaw chooses to give its MiG-29s to Kyiv on social networks.
In March, Polish President Andrzej Duda made it clear that his country would not see any MiG-29 fighters in Ukrainian air space. Mateusz Morawiecki, Poland's Prime Minister, does not intend to do anything that could affect the greater EU.
Furthermore, Poland has approved a draft bill to create a $1.75 billion pool to relieve Ukrainian combat refugees. Over one million migrants recently entered Poland, including tens of thousands getting sheltered across the country, Reuters reported.
The legislation focuses on providing food and transitional shelters for refugees and steps that would enable them to legally work and access public healthcare and social support in Poland.
NATO disapproves
NATO members don't want to be active militarily and keep a nuclear conflict in Ukraine. An affront by the demand of Ukraine for a no-fly zone, the bloc is not keen on the desperation of Volodymyr Zelensky, who call them weak.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned not to listen to Ukraine or its demands for a no-fly zone or start a serious conflict in Europe.
The Russian Defense Ministry told Romania, a NATO member, spoke against harboring Kyiv's military jets, warning they could end up in an armed confrontation, mentioned the Defense Post.
According to defense ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov, a few Ukrainian jets were sent to Romania and neighbors to escape from getting damaged.
All enemy combat planes were destroyed, said the Russian MoD when attacks were carried out. But Romania's Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă remarked. It's all hyperbole designed to deflect attention away from what's going on the ground, where civilians are being slaughtered, and the norms of armed combat are being broken.
Ciucă said his country was not threatened and informed Moscow of a plane that landed on February 24 and left unharmed later. Poland denied the MiG-29 fighters in a deal with the US, knowing it could jeopardize the EU.
