“After talking with the German Defense Ministry, I was disappointed to accept the decision to reject the support of Ukraine. Placing the Patriot air defense systems in western Ukraine would increase the security of Poles and Ukrainians. So we proceed to working arrangements regarding the placement of systems in Poland and connecting them to our command system,” wrote the Minister of National Defense of Poland.
Uaposition memo: Germany offered Poland Patriot air defense systems to protect the country’s airspace after a missile fell in the area bordering Ukraine. In response, Poland offered to place Patriot systems in Ukraine near the border with the Republic of Poland. In Warsaw, this was explained by the fact that it would be better for the security of Poland. But Germany disagreed with such a decision.
