Poland, a NATO member, has been given the “green light” from the United States to send fighter jets as part of military aid to support Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday.

“That gets a green light,” Blinken said in an interview with CBS News’ “Face the Nation“ when asked whether the Polish government, as a member of NATO, could send fighter planes to Ukraine.
