Poland's Defense Minister said that MiG-29s are needed to patrol the Polish skies. The country has provided Ukraine with the maximum possible military assistance, but must take into account its own security.

Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh, Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Polish Defense Ministry, reminded Radio ZET that his country is not a party to the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, Poland has provided Ukraine with as much military equipment as it could, and he would not approve of MiG aircraft in his position.

When asked about President Zelensky's statement about helping Ukraine, Kosiniak-Kamysh said that he was "trying his best to make sure that interest in the Ukrainian issue does not disappear." The head of the Defense Ministry notes that Poland has donated as much military equipment as it can, but the limit is its own security.

For example, the MIG-29 - they patrol the Polish sky, they serve Polish pilots. I can't say that I agree with the transfer of aircraft. There is no consent on my part

- says the Minister of Defense.

Kosiniak-Kamysh also reminded Radio ZET that Poland "is not a party to the conflict.

Poland provides the most humanitarian and military aid... I regret that this is often forgotten, the official emphasized.
