Kremlin threatens destruction of NATO’s MiG-29 Jets sent to aid Ukraine

All this equipment will be subject to destruction, said the Kremlin in response to the pledges from NATO members Poland and Slovakia to send MiG-29 jets to Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, speaking to reporters during a briefing today, said that it feels like all of these countries are thus engaged in the disposal of old unnecessary equipment.

Russia has accused the west of directly participating in the conflict by supplying weapons to Kyiv, and has previously warned that Nato weapons were legitimate targets for its forces.

Slovakia’s Prime Minister, Eduard Heger, today announced it has approved to send MIG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, as part of increased military aid to help Kyiv combat the ongoing Russian invasion.
