01 · THE DISPATCH

Poland has suspended the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, according to Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk, who cited Kyiv's failure to fulfill commitments regarding drone technology exchange. Tomczyk stated that discussions between the two countries are ongoing to resolve the situation. The report comes from a single source and has not been independently verified.

The suspension adds to a pattern of shifting allied support for Ukraine. As The Zioneer reported last week, Bulgaria's new defense minister also halted arms supplies to Ukraine under a newly formed pro-Russian-leaning government. Other recent background — none directly connected to this event — includes Russian claims of downing 330 Ukrainian drones overnight and a Russian airspace closure near MiG-31K launch lines.

The reason for the drone-tech commitment and its terms remain unspecified in the report. It is also unclear whether the suspension affects only future deliveries or includes jets already committed.
