Poland is contemplating sending an additional shipment of Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, with a decision anticipated within the coming days, according to Deputy Defense Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka. In an interview with RMF FM, Sobkowiak-Czarnecka stated that any decision on the transfer must first consider Poland's own security interests.
The assessment is also being impacted by a recent incident where a Russian missile landed on Polish soil. The potential transfer is occurring amidst a renewed discussion in Poland about bolstering Ukraine's air defenses, as Russia continues to launch ballistic missile assaults on Ukrainian cities. Earlier, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski urged the Polish government to reconsider the possibility of intercepting Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory.
Sikorski emphasized that ballistic missiles have been targeting Kyiv daily for several days, causing civilian casualties and that Ukraine lacks adequate defenses against such attacks. Furthermore, Poland is currently assembling its 50th military aid package for Ukraine, as per Polish officials.
