UK backs Poland to supply fighter jets to Ukraine
The United Kingdom on Tuesday said it would support Poland if it eventually decides to supply combat aircraft to Ukraine.
UK Defence Minister Ben Wallace warned that the move could have direct consequences for Warsaw.
“Poland will understand that the choices it makes will not only directly help Ukraine, which is a good thing but also may bring them into a direct line of fire from countries such as Russia or Belarus,” he said.
As a fellow NATO member, he added that the UK would support the Poles and whatever choice they make.
Mr Wallace stressed that it is a huge responsibility on the shoulders of the president of Poland and its defence minister.
“They will have to calibrate that,” he said.
