— Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland (PremierRP_en) March 6, 2022
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.”
Michael Weiss describes 'creative solutions' that essentially skirt overt calling no fly zones by NATO while still using NATO states to secure air space over Ukraine (my interpretation of what they wink wink meant by the conversation, wow, let's just ramp up tensions shall we? /s)Blinken: NATO Countries Have ‘Green Light’ to Send Fighter Jets to Ukraine
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CBS’s “Face The Nation” that the United States has given the “green light” to NATO countries who have wanted to provide fighter jets to Ukraine.
Russia has warned countries offering airfields to Ukraine would be entering the ongoing conflict. https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/r ... g-conflict

MARGARET BRENNAN: NATO has said none of its 30 members are willing to set up a no-fly zone. President Biden has been very clear. He has no interest in that or combat troops. But what more can the United States do here? If, for instance, the Polish government, a NATO member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the U.S.? Or you were afraid that that will escalate tension?
BLINKEN: No, that- that gets a green light. In fact, we’re talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to back fill their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to to the Ukrainians. What could we do? How can we help to make sure that they get something to backfill the planes that they’re handing over to- to the Ukrainians? We’re in very active discussions with them about that. Look, I’ve been in Europe for the last couple of days working closely as always with our allies and partners at NATO, the European Union, the G7 countries, and all of us together are continuing to take steps to increase the pressure on Russia through additional sanctions, all of which are very actively under discussion and will be implemented in the in the coming days, as well as taking further steps to give the Ukrainians what they need to defend themselves against the Russian aggression.
1- Poland has full US administration approval and encouragement for Poland to send planes to Ukraine. Poland is offered new planes to 'backfill'.CBS anchor Margaret Brennan: “If for instance the Polish government, a NATO member, wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the US or are you afraid that will escalate tension?
Tony Blinken: “No, that gets a green light. In fact, we’re talking with our Polish friends right now about what we might be able to do to backfill their needs if they provide these fighter jets to the Ukrainians. What can we do? How can we help?… For us it’s not about regime change. The Russian people have to decide who they want to lead them… It’s going to end and it’s going to end with Ukraine prevailing… Winning a battle is not the same thing as winning a war.”

Poland Still Isn't Interested In Transferring Its MiG-29s To Ukraine
The U.S. is actively pushing for the transfer but Poland still says it won't give its MiG-29s to Ukraine.
Despite Secretary Blinken’s endorsement on Sunday morning, the Polish government is swiftly labeling any claims that Poland has or will provide its MiGs to Ukraine as “fake news.” The Chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister’s Twitter account has habitually replied to claims with a quote tweet from the Polish Armed Force emphasizing Polish MiG-29s are not in Ukraine and stating explicitly:
Poland won't send its fighter jets to #Ukraine as well as allow to use its airports. We significantly help in many other areas.
