ANKARA (AA) - Poland on Tuesday voiced its readiness to hand over all of its MIG-29 jets to the US as Washington's efforts continue to provide Ukraine with fighter aircraft in its war with Russia.

Warsaw is "ready to deploy -- immediately and free of charge -- all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America," the Polish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Calling on other NATO allies that possess MIG-29 jets to "act in the same vein," the country also said it requested the US provide "used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities."

"Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes," it added.
