Slovakia to donate 13 MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine: PM

Slovakia will donate 13 MiG-29 warplanes to Ukraine, the Slovak prime minister said Friday, making it the second NATO member to announce such a shipment following a similar move by Poland.

"We will hand over 13 of our MiG-19 jets to Ukraine," Slovak premier Eduard Heger told journalists, adding that Bratislava would also deliver a Kub air defense system to Ukraine.

In turn, Russia said that the warplanes that Poland and Slovakia will send to Ukraine will be "destroyed."
