0:33Now PlayingThe Pentagon rejected Poland's surprise announcement that it would give the U.S. its MiG-29 fighter jets for use by Ukraine, a rare display of disharmony by NATO allies seeking to boost Ukrainian fighter jets while avoiding getting caught up in a wider war with Russia.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ruled out Poland’s proposal to transfer MiG fighter planes to the U.S. for delivery to Ukraine. Kirby said Poland's declaration that it intended to deliver the 28 jets to the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany raised the concerning prospect of warplanes departing from a U.S. and NATO base to fly into airspace contested with Russia in the Ukraine conflict.
Poland had said it was prepared to hand over MiG-29 planes to NATO that could then be delivered to Ukraine, but Kirby said U.S. intelligence concluded that it could be considered escalatory and trigger a “significant” Russian reaction.
Kirby’s remarks went beyond his comments in a statement Tuesday, rejecting Poland's offer to give fighter jets to the United States for transfer to Ukraine.
