NEW: US readout of call between @SecDef Lloyd Austin and #Poland's Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak re #Ukraine

No specific mention of #MiGs but they discussed "how the United States and Poland could effectively provide assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces"
Earlier @PentagonPresSec said @SecDef told #Poland's Błaszczak, "We do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force at this time & therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either"
