refused to address the diplomatic turbulence between Poland and the US Thursday after the Pentagon rejected an offer from the Warsaw government to provide fighter jets to Ukraine — but insisted that the two countries remain unified against Russian aggression.
“The United States and Poland are united in what we have done and are prepared to do to help Ukraine and the people of Ukraine. Full stop,” Harris said when asked about the US plan, before rattling off examples of American humanitarian and military support. When asked what other measures the US is taking to aid Ukraine, Harris answered only: “This is an ongoing process and that is not going to stop to the extent there is need.”
The Polish proposal involved sending the Soviet-era MiGs to the American air base in Germany, from where they would have then been transferred to Ukraine — with the understanding that the US would supply Poland with newer F-16 fighter jets as replacements.
