Ukraine's foreign minister on Sunday continued to urge the United States and Western allies to give fighter jets to Ukraine to help bolster its defenses against Russia's unabating attacks.
But on Tuesday, the Pentagon said a proposal from Poland to give the U.S. its warplanes to then be passed on to Ukraine is not a"tenable one" and"raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance." "On the one hand, everyone is ready to do it, but nothing is happening and we are not getting the planes," he said."It reminds me of other ping-pong game where every side throws the ball to the other side and gets it back.
"The drones are not escalatory and planes are escalatory. What is the logic behind it? Anti-tank weapons are not escalatory and planes are escalatory," Kuleba said."First, what else [does] Russia have to do for everyone to understand that they already reached the peak of escalation? They used, as I mentioned in the beginning, weapons prohibited by the international conventions. Why are we so afraid of another escalation? We need to defend ourselves.
