The EU has decided not to send fighter jets to Ukraine. what happen?
HSMilitarycom: The EU has promised to send a number of fighter jets to Ukraine to fight Russia. However, this promise has not materialized to date.
Earlier the EU said it would supply its fighter jets to Ukraine against the Russian invasion.
NATO Secretariat General Jens Stoltenberg, quoted by Air Force Time, said that European Union members would not lend fighter jets to Ukraine fighting Russia.
"The Alliance will not send troops to Ukraine or move aircraft into Ukrainian airspace," Stoltenberg said, quoted by Hops.ID.
Stoltenberg also stressed that NATO members will not take part directly in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier, the EU's offer of its fighter jets to Ukraine was initially disclosed by the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Joseph Borrell.
Joseph at the end of February 2022 said the total aid for Kiev, Ukraine was 450 million euros, one of which consisted of supplies of fighter jets and various lethal weapons.
"Of course we will send weapons and fighter jets to Ukraine," Joseph told reporters some time ago.
"We don't want to just talk about ammunition," he added.
During the meeting with Stoltenberg, Polish President Andrzej Duda added that sending jets into Ukrainian airspace that are quite similar to Ukrainian MiG-29 Fulcrum and Su-27 Flanker fighters would be tantamount to military intervention in Russia's attack on the country.
NATO Allied Air Command spokesman Kevin Nieberg declined to confirm it would supply the fighter jets on loan to Kiev.
"Poland and its NATO allies are increasing their political and practical support to Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against a full-scale Russian invasion," Nieberg said.
Russia invaded Ukraine, Putin threatened any country that wanted to interfere in his attack on Ukraine which began to rage at the beginning of his televised speech quoted by TASS.
Putin also added that he condemned and demanded a series of security guarantees from NATO, one of which was against Ukraine joining the pact.
