O montante do apoio militar e financeiro que Portugal vai disponibilizar à Ucrânia este ano será “superior a 220 milhões de euros”, e esse valor “será repetido no próximo ano”, anunciou o primeiro-ministro, Luís Montenegro, na véspera da cimeira da NATO de Washington, onde o reforço do compromisso dos aliados com a defesa da Ucrânia contra a agressão da Rússia será o principal tópico da agenda.
(...)Last January, Lockheed Martin announced the first two of the 14 purchased F-16 fighters were delivered to Slovakia, with more jets expected to leave production lines until the end of this year. But even before the 2018 aircraft contract, valued at around $800 million, is completed, the Slovak Cabinet could place an additional order for a further four jets, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák.(...)Kaliňák, who is part of a far-right right government critical of Ukraine aid, has criticized the Viper offer as "disadvantageous" to Slovakia. He has also decried the previous Cabinet's decision to donate 13 outdated Mikoyan MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine, alongside other weapons, to support the country's defense against Russia's ongoing invasion."The Slovak Defence Ministry has put the MiG-29s donated by the previous government without any existing legal analysis of such decision in the spotlight," the Slovak ministry said in a statement last month. The result of an "internal investigation" was that there was no authority to dispose of the MiG-29 fleet, the statement reads.Kaliňák said he will take issue up a notch, requesting Slovak prosecutors to launch an investigation into the 2023 transfer of MiG-29s and 2K12 Kub anti-aircraft missile systems by the previous government. The deputy prime minister claims then-Prime Minister Eduard Heger and Naď "weakened" Slovakia's military.Naď said he stands by the decision to support the Ukrainian military with Soviet-designed fighter jets and air defense systems."Slovakia transferred the same type of equipment that was transferred by many other countries, for instance Poland, but you don’t hear about the new Polish government blaming the previous government for supporting Ukraine," he said.Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, a populist leader who campaigned on a pro-Moscow platform, has led the country's government since last October. During his electoral campaign, one of the politician’s main slogans was "Not a single round" for neighboring Ukraine, with Fico vowing he will end his nation's military aid to Kyiv. On May 15, the prime minister was shot and gravely wounded in a politically-driven assassination attempt. Since his release from a hospital in central Slovakia in late May, Fico has gradually resumed his public activities.
Greece is considering the potential transfer of 32 older F-16 Block 30 fighter jets to Ukraine as the war-torn nation seeks to bolster its air defense capabilities. This decision comes as Greece embarks on a significant modernization of its own air force, upgrading existing F-16s and acquiring new Rafale and potentially F-35 fighter jets.The transfer of 32 F-16 Block 30 jets would represent a significant portion of Greece's current fighter jet fleet. With an ongoing modernization program and the acquisition of advanced fighter aircraft, the Hellenic Air Force is aiming to maintain a robust air defense capability. The potential departure of these older jets could create a temporary gap in air defense capabilities until the upgraded F-16s and new acquisitions become fully operational.To mitigate the impact on its air force, Greece is reportedly considering selling the decommissioned F-16s back to the United States. The U.S. could then refurbish and upgrade these aircraft before transferring them to Ukraine. This approach would allow Greece to maintain a consistent level of air defense while providing valuable support to Ukraine.[continua]
