Poland’s president says his country plans to give Ukraine a dozen MiG-29 fighter jets, becoming the first NATO member to fulfill the Ukrainian government's increasingly urgent requests for warplanes.

Duda did not say if other countries would be making the same move, although Slovakia has said it would send its disused MiGs to Ukraine. To read the original story from AP, click here.
