On the other hand, Poland has requested F-16 fighter aircraft provided the country as reserve in exchange for MiGs.
Ukrainian Air Force requests Russian fighter planes because they are the models they are trained to operate with.

NATO rejected the calls, saying a no-fly zone could provoke a widespread war between Europe and Russia.
President Joe Biden has talked with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss continuing efforts to impose economic sanctions on Russia and speed up US military, humanitarian and economic aid to Ukraine.
