U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Sunday that Washington is discussing with Warsaw a proposal that would allow Ukraine to obtain warplanes from Poland to defend its skies from Russian assault.

Under the proposed three-way deal, Poland would provide Ukraine with its aging Mikoyan MiG-29 fighter jets and in return, have its hangars refilled by the United States with American-made F-16s.
