Nachdem die Polen wohl schon vor ein paar Tagen angekündigt hatten, erste MiG-29 an die Ukrainer zu liefern (was auch die Gerüchteküche zum Brodeln brachte, ob es womöglich ehem. MiGs aus DDR-Beständen sein könnten, wo die Deutschen ja noch die Endverbleibsklausel bemühen könnten)...

Zitat:Poland to send Ukraine four MiG-29 jets in coming dayshttps://www.reuters.com/business/aerospa...023-03-16/
WARSAW, March 16 (Reuters) - Poland will send Ukraine four MiG-29 fighter jets in coming days, the president said on Thursday, making it the first of Kyiv's allies to provide such aircraft. One of Ukraine's staunchest supporters, Warsaw has taken a leading role in persuading sometimes hesitant allies to provide Kyiv with heavy weaponry. It has said that any transfer of jets would be as part of a coalition. [...]
On Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that deliveries could be made in four to six weeks. Duda said that Poland had roughly 10-20 MiG 29 jets.

First four of 13 MiG-29 fighters retired from active service by the Slovak Air Force have be transferred to Ukraine on Mar. 23, 2023. The aircraft were flown from Sliač Air Base by Ukrainian Air Force pilots who had arrived in Slovakia to pick them up together with mechanics, who serviced the jets before departure. [...] Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger announced on Mar. 17, 2023, that the Government of Slovakia approved the transfer of 13 MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.
Ach ja, und derweilen kann China seinen Einfluss beim kleinen Bruder immer mehr ausbauen:
Zitat:Russia embraces China’s renminbi in face of western sanctionshttps://www.ft.com/content/65681143-c6af...ca6171937a
Russia has adopted the renminbi as one of the main currencies for its international reserves, overseas trade and even some personal banking services as it pivots towards China in the face of western sanctions. The shift has made Russia a rare example of a country adopting the renminbi rather than the US dollar or euro as a reserve currency, but poses risks for Moscow given Beijing’s history of abrupt currency devaluations.
China’s desire for international adoption of the renminbi has gone largely unfulfilled, but Russia has been driven towards the Chinese currency by international sanctions, the freezing of $300bn of its international assets and moves to exclude its main banks from global markets. [...] Before the invasion, more than 60 per cent of Russia’s payments for its exports were made in what the country’s authorities now refer to as “toxic currencies”, such as the dollar and euro, with renminbi accounting for less than 1 per cent. [...]
Russian president Vladimir Putin this month endorsed the broader international use of the renminbi. He said as he met with Chinese president Xi Jinping that he supported “the use of the yuan in payments between Russia and countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America”.
