Poland Refutes Secretary of State Blinken’s Claim that It Will Send Its Fighter Jets to Ukraine Hours Before Interview
On Saturday Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Tony Blinken traveled to Poland. Blinken visited reception centers for Ukrainian refugees who entered the country. Over 922,400 Ukrainians have now entered Poland since the start of the Russian invasion more than a week ago.
Blinken also met with Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau.

The Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland called this out as fake news just hours before Blinkens appearance on CBS News.
Yet he spun the lie anyway.
The Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland states, “Poland won’t send its fighter jets to #Ukraine as well as allow to use its airports. We significantly help in many other areas.”
‼️FAKE NEWS‼️
Unfortunately you are spreading misinformation with quotation from 27/02/22.Poland won’t send its fighter jets to #Ukraine as well as allow to use its airports. We significantly help in many other areas.https://t.co/wjNOgh97JT

What a clown show by Tony Blinken.
This would be enough to start a war with NATO if true. How completely wreckless.
