As per news report of BBC, the topic has exposed disagreements within the Nato alliance. On Tuesday, Poland's offer to provide the US with MiG-29 fighter jets as an intermediary step toward transferring them to Ukraine was rejected as "not tenable" by American officials. On Wednesday afternoon, US Defence Department spokesman John Kirby was even more definitive, saying such a transfer presented a "high risk" of a Russian response that leads to a military escalation with Nato. "We assess that adding aircraft to the Ukrainian inventory is not likely to significantly change the effectiveness of Ukrainian Air Force relative to Russian capabilities," he added. The statement came after a German government spokesman also dismissed the Polish proposal, describing it as "not currently on the table".
