(24,760 posts)Ukrainians have the right to control their own border. He also said the airspace over Ukraine is theirs to control. So, if an ally wants to fly over Poland into Ukraine, he doesn't see a problem... except for shooting down Russian planes. He wants a no fly zone. He also wants Putin declared an international terrorist or perpetrator of crimes against humanity, I forget the designation, because that would expand options against him. He thinks how we handle Putin will likewise send a message to the Chinese as to what to expect should they embark upon a Putinesque course.

In addition to Poland, the Bulgarian and Slovakian governments have also recently ruled out the delivery of military aircraft to Ukraine. Yet at the same time, a Ukrainian official was claiming as recently as Monday that Ukrainian pilots had left the country to pick up planes donated by EU countries.

We are not sending any jets to Ukraine because that would open military inference in the Ukrainian conflict. We are not joining that conflict. NATO is not party to that conflict, Duda said.
Either the original story was incorrect or plans fell through.
