Pentagon Press Sec. John Kirby Says U.S. Does “Not Support the Transfer” of MiGs to Ukraine

The Pentagon announced that it will not support a proposal from NATO-ally Poland to send MiG-29 planes to the Ukrainian military, referring to the move as "high-risk" for escalating tensions with Russia.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke to Poland Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak on Wednesday about "Russia's unprovoked aggression in Ukraine," offering appreciation for the country's acceptance of Ukrainians who are fleeing turmoil.
