EU members who used to be Warsaw pact members give Mig-29 and SU-25 aircraft to Poland in exchange for money or more modern western aircraft. Ukrainian pilots are trained on these aircraft and can fly them.
Bulgaria gives 14 SU-25 fighters and 16 Mig-29. Poland gives 28 Mig-29 and Slovakia gives 12 Mig-29, 170 planes in total. Comments in the Twitter thread is however doubting the credibility of this. Italics are mine.

There has been many reports of a large convoy10-20-30… etc kilometres long, nobody knows for sure. These vehicles are said to be Rosgvardia, i.e. occupational forces not meant for frontline battle. Whether the convoy i s 10 or 100 kilometres it does effectively block the road so nothing else, like food or fuel, can travel through.

As always, only enemy losses are reported. For Ukrainian losses, look for Russian sources. Italics are mine.

As a fighter, the MiG-29 (Fulcrum) is pretty outdated. Highly visible exhaust signature, control surfaces are still operated with cables, no stealth technology. All modern fighters are fly by wire.
The Sukhoi-25 (Frogfoot) is still relevant, as it's an attack aircraft, and has always been able to carry a lot of ordinance. It's subsonic, but nobody cares much about that for attack planes.
Missing Kurayami about now-- he and I would fill pages talking about military aircraft.
This narrative that they're being supplied MiG29s is shaky at best. I believe they may get some from Poland but I'm not sure how poor countries like Slovakia and Bulgaria, which only have 10-20 fighters to begin with, would be willing to loan them out at a time like this.
