here's our washington correspondent duncan kennedy it seems that ukraine was in search of more aircraft airspace, maybe even attack some of the russian convoys. but it is not clear where the offer came from. did poland offer? did ukraine ask poland? either way, these 20 or 30 mig—29 jets appeared to be part of the deal that poland was offering to send to ukraine. no details are worked out how those planes are going to get to ukraine. but the whole deal had initially the backing of the americans, the secretary of state antony blinken was saying that if poland can get these jets to ukraine, america would backfill the polish aircraft with new american planes. but then, over the past day or so, the poles seem to have got a bit of cold feet about this. perhaps because they felt intimidated by what russia might do by way of retaliation, so yesterday, they came up with this alternative plan. and that is to send the planes to ukraine but via an american air base in germany. the ramstein air base in germany. and it's involving the americans and not sending them directly to ukraine that seems to
