## Key points

- Poland and Ukraine are discussing a two-jet MiG-29 transfer.
- The proposed exchange involves Ukrainian drone technology.
- A previous disagreement over technology sharing stalled talks.

## Summary

Poland and Ukraine have agreed to create joint working groups on drone and anti-drone technology, while continuing talks on a possible transfer of two Polish MiG-29 fighter jets. Poland’s deputy defence minister said arrangements were being finalised in exchange for access to Ukrainian technology, making the proposal part of broader military cooperation between the neighbours.

The announcement followed several months of negotiations and came during a Polish delegation’s visit to Kyiv. Poland had considered transferring its remaining MiG-29s in December 2025, but talks stalled in June after Poland’s defence minister said Ukraine had not met its commitment to share drone technology. Poland previously sent Ukraine 14 MiG-29s in spring 2023; the Soviet-designed fourth-generation aircraft is used by both Ukrainian and Russian forces.
