The Slovakian government has pledged the country’s entire fleet of Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine to become the second NATO member to heed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for warplanes after Poland.
Slovakia’s Prime Minister Eduard Heger told a news conference on Friday that his government was “on the right side of history,” and tweeted: “Promises must be kept and when([President) Zelensky asked for more weapons including fighter jets, I said we’ll do our best. I’m glad others are doing the same.”
