Slovakia has delivered all of the 13 fighter jets it promised to Ukraine. The first four MiG-29 fighters were delivered late last month.

Slovakia and Poland are the only two countries that delivered  Soviet-designed MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine. Warsaw has already delivered eight and six more are expected to be delivered soon.

Kyiv has called for modern Western aircraft but they have yet to be delivered, although several Western countries such as Denmark have posted provisions for this.
