Politico: Europe mulls transfer of jet fighters to Kyiv after tanks
26.01.2023 13:00
An internal debate about supplying Ukraine with jet fighters is already underway, pushed by Ukrainian officials with support from hawkish Baltic states, reported from Politico.
"The next natural step would be fighters,” a diplomat from a northern European country said.
The debate will likely prove even more contentious than the row over supplying tanks. In Europe, multiple officials and diplomats said their governments no longer consider the idea a non-starter, but that fears of escalation remain high.
A second senior envoy from a European power also stressed the speed at which the supply of Western weaponry is escalating. "Fighters are completely unconceivable today,” they said, "but we might have this discussion in two, three weeks.”
