A few days ago the Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak visited Canada and declared that Ukraine had received 10 planes. As you can see, four more fighters were delivered quite promptly.
The Ukrainian Air Force will probably receive five more MiG-29s in the future. This is the number of multi-role fighters that Germany allowed Poland to send to Ukraine in the middle of last month.
Also, the Polish Permanent Delegation to the EU said it had delivered 325 tanks. In total, Ukraine has received 575 combat vehicles.
