Slovakia will send 13 MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, Prime Minister Eduard Heger said Friday, making it the second NATO member to pledge the aircraft after Poland.
“Promises must be kept and when [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky asked for more weapons including fighter jets, I said we’ll do our best. Glad others [are] doing the same,” Heger said on twitter.
Military aid is key, he added, to ensure Ukraine “can defend itself” and Europe against Russia.
