Berlin March 9 2022: Germany says it won't be sending warplanes to Ukraine, after the US rejected an offer by Poland to transfer its Russian-made MiG-29 jets to Ukraine via a US base in Germany.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany has "provided all kinds of defence materials" including weapons, but he says "definitely warplanes are not part of that".
Meanwhile in the UK, No 10 Downing Street says it is "not tenable" for Nato pilots and jets to be shooting down Russian planes.
A spokesman for the PM says Boris Johnson has "repeatedly said" he is committed to "providing the weapons that Ukraine needs".
Earlier, the UK said it was increasing its supply of weapons to Ukraine, sending 1,615 more light anti-tank missiles, as well as longer range Javelin missiles – and looking at sending surface-to-air missiles.
