Poland secretly sends attack helicopters to Ukraine – WSJ

Poland sent around ten Mi-24 Soviet-era attack helicopters to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Polish officials have not confirmed that Poland secretly provided Ukraine with Mi-24 attack helicopters. Euromaidan Press cannot independently verify this information.

The Mi-24 is an attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It was produced in the Soviet Union at Moscow Helicopter Plant and was introduced by the Soviet Air Force in 1972. The helicopter is currently used by 58 countries, including Ukraine and Poland.

Poland continues to provide humanitarian and military support to Ukraine, being one of the largest arms suppliers among all of Ukraine’s allies.

Today, on 9 July, President of Poland Andrzej Duda visited Ukraine.
