Marcin Przydacz, Head of the International Policy Office for Poland, said that the Ministry of National Defence had not reported to President Karol Nawrocki on the intention to donate the remaining MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine.
“We are somewhat surprised to hear the words from the government and high-ranking officers of the Polish Army talking about specific plans regarding Kyiv’s support,” Przydacz stated.
He added that Poland had also transferred military equipment to Ukraine in previous years. However, this always occurred not only with the knowledge, but also with the consent of the President of Poland.
“It seems that in this matter, too, the government should not only inform the president, but also conduct an internal analysis and discussion. Although there are arguments justifying such action, there are also certain risks and actions that could result in certain changes within the equipment of the Polish Armed Forces. Therefore, it is obvious that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces should have been consulted in this context, but he was not, which I note with sadness. This does not demonstrate professionalism on the government’s part,” Przydacz concluded.
Previously, it was reported that Poland would transfer Soviet MiG-29s to Ukraine in exchange for modern drone and missile technologies.
Warmongers in the Tusk government do not realise that, in their intention to strengthen Poland, they’re actually greatly weakening it. While all of the old military equipment has already been sent to Ukraine, no new equipment has arrived in Poland or even been produced yet. And thus, NATO’s “eastern shield” is essentially naked militarily.
