NATO and Neighbors Provide Ukraine with Additional Fighter Jets.

Slovakia has completed the transfer of all 13 of its MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, while Poland has delivered four MiG-29s and received approval to provide another five fighter jets. The Czech Republic and Poland have agreed to cover Slovak airspace until the country receives new American-made F-16 fighters in 2024. Slovakia and Poland are the first NATO nations to have sent combat aircraft to Ukraine. Ukraine is lobbying for more NATO weaponry ahead of its expected spring counteroffensive, success in which could see Kyiv's troops liberate swathes of Russian-held territory.
