No idea on that level of detail. Hopefully the Ukrainian mechanics can get them humming again.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

As you speculated. Since they were just grounded last year I bet it won't take long to get them back in the air.
"March 17 (Reuters) - Slovakia on Friday became the second of Ukraine's allies to provide MIG-29 fighter jets which Kyiv believes are crucial to repel Russia's year-long invasion.
Slovakia joined Poland, which announced its delivery of the planes on Thursday. Both the NATO members neighbour Ukraine.
Its fleet of 11 MiG-29 planes was retired last summer and most of them are not in operational condition. It will send those that are operational and the rest will go for spare parts."

I think the majority will be "boneyard" types...stripped for spare parts. I'm pretty confident the Ukrainians will get a few airworthy though.
Just stripping them for parts held the Ukrainians out...
Hopefully they have a few engine spares as well...
Hmmm, yeah everybody kind of knew, everybody just kind of ignored all the signs
"The Vice President has been leading the Administration’s effort to support a sovereign, democratic Ukraine"
FWIW-odd date but maybe default on old video?
"Temporarily occupied Mykilske, Donetsk region... The orcs had fun yesterday."

Love the updates so don't take this wrong but....
"Ukrainian defenders repelled over 70 Russian attacks on five fronts and launched strikes on 12 clusters of the Russians over the course of the past 24 hours."
This tells us next to nothing...
"Powerful explosion following a Ukrainian strike on a Russian ammunition depot located in the village of Oborotnovka, #Luhansk oblast."
I like the sentiment.
AMSTERDAM, March 17 (Reuters) - The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant on Friday against Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being responsible for war crimes committed in Ukraine.
Moscow has repeatedly denied accusations that its forces have committed atrocities during its one-year invasion of its neighbour.
The ICC issued the warrant for Putin's arrest on suspicion of unlawful deportation of children and unlawful transfer of people from the territory of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.

Earlier this week Reuters reported that the court was expected to issue warrants, the first in its investigation into the Ukraine conflict.
Separately the court issued warrants for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, Russia's Commissioner for Children’s Rights, on the same charges."

Survival is a helluva motivator.
This was always the case for him; if he loses the Ukraine war, he is deposed. Meaning, "offed".
Yeah, but he had to anyway to survive his disastrous decision to invade Ukraine.
Doubt it will make a difference but hope China reconsiders deepening their relationship with Putin. Though it is probably more about distracting the West while they think about attacking Taiwan and starting WW3.
Interesting map.
Incompatibility with the U.S. Constitution
United States participation in the ICC treaty regime would also be unconstitutional because it would allow the trial of U.S. citizens for crimes committed on U.S. soil, which are otherwise entirely within the judicial power of the United States.
