kyiv's allies continue to be divided over the delivery of fighter jets.
Poland, for its part, has taken a position in favor of Ukraine on this dossier.
The country would indeed be willing to send F-16s in the event of a consensus within NATO, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday.
"If there was a decision by all (member states) of NATO, I would be in favor of sending these fighter planes," he said in an interview with the German daily
Bild
. .
“My assessment depends on what NATO member countries decide together,” he added, stressing the need for “strategic reflection by the whole of NATO” for such a decision.
Zelensky also wants long-range missiles
Last week, the West reached a plateau in military aid to kyiv when Germany and the United States finally announced the shipment of heavy tanks.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for even greater assistance, including the delivery of long-range missiles and combat aircraft.
On Monday, United States President Joe Biden categorically rejected the idea of sending American F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is also on the same line to avoid "escalation" with Moscow.
However, other allies say they are ready to do so, including Slovakia, which has Soviet Mig-29s, and the Netherlands, which has begun replacing its F-16 fleet with F-35s.
