Russia prepares ‘air fight’ as Ukraine ground war grinds on

Al Jazeera  

NATO officials push for quick procurement of air defences for Ukraine as Russia eyes the skies for battlefield edge. “We want to make sure they have the ability to protect themselves in the event Russia decides to introduce its air force into the fight.” NATO intelligence reports say Russia is “amassing fixed-wing and rotary aircraft close to the border with Ukraine”, the Financial Times quoted two defence officials as saying. “If the Ukrainians are going to survive they need to have as many air defence capabilities and as much ammunition … as possible.” Asked whether Ukraine’s allies discussed the issue of sending fighter jets to help the country in its war effort, Austin said, “I don’t have any announcement to make today.” ‘Crucial moment’ Western defence chiefs met to discuss both new arms provisions to Kyiv and maintenance of existing supplies – including artillery shells whose production can hardly keep pace with the war. Ukraine renewed its appeal for fighter jets to help frustrate Moscow’s invasion as senior defence officials said the fight against Russia was approaching a critical stage. “It is something that will take time and it is best done behind closed doors.” Slovakia has said it is willing to discuss sending Soviet MIG-29 planes to help replace losses to Ukraine’s airforce.
