Kuleba: Kyiv plans to cover the western regions of Ukraine with Polish Patriot anti-aircraft systems

Ukraine is experiencing very big problems with air defense; the available number of anti-aircraft systems is not enough to cover all the most important objects; in fact, now only Kyiv is more or less covered. Against this background, Ukraine is considering various options for organizing air defense.

Kyiv could remove the anti-aircraft systems covering some objects in Western Ukraine in order to move them closer to the front if Poland took over the protection of the airspace over the western regions of the country. According to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Kyiv and Warsaw are considering a scenario in which the territory of Western Ukraine will be covered by Polish Patriot air defense systems. It is not known at what stage of the negotiations.

According to Kuleba, Ukraine is putting pressure on the fact that with this option, Poland will be able to cover its territory from Russian missiles and drones, which supposedly fly there periodically.

In fact, this would protect NATO countries from Russian missiles or drones

- said the minister, without specifying how Poland should protect the west of Ukraine from the same missiles and drones. It is one thing for Polish Patriot systems to be installed on Ukrainian territory, but quite another for them to continue to remain on Polish territory.

If Poland deploys its air defense systems in Ukraine, they will become a legitimate target for Russia, which does not care who owns them. In the event of the defeat of Russian missiles from Polish territory, Warsaw actually enters into direct conflict with Moscow with all the ensuing consequences. Most likely, Poland will simply transfer to Ukraine old decommissioned Soviet anti-aircraft missiles located in warehouses, and that will be the end of it. Moreover, Warsaw previously categorically refused to give up its air defense systems to Kyiv.

“What, it was possible...??? And this would not be considered Poland’s direct participation in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine...??? “Stupid questions... If only all arrogant challenges and attacks were immediately answered symmetrically The West is against us, then there would be no need to ask them...

“What, it was possible...???

Theoretically, Poland, Tribaltic and other howling countries are covered by the notorious Article 5 and American strategic missiles.

Practically - I read the 5th article in Russian, English and German, but in NATO, except for the United States, who wrote it, no one read it if they think that in the event of our retaliatory strike on the Polish air defense systems, American missiles will immediately take off .

And therefore, it is only in the Ukrainian stoned brains that a crazy idea can be born that Poland will fight us from its territory and say what the Americans love: “Darling! This is not what you thought!” (when in the movies the husband’s wife pulls her husband off the secretary by the legs and he, wailing, runs after her, covering himself with the secretary’s skirt).
You might think that the Poles themselves would not have thought of this if America had not told her a long time ago: “On your own... On my own behalf - go ahead! And we and NATO have nothing to do with it.”
And that’s why they stsut... Because they know...

Kuleba lives by the principle that what I see is what I sing. He has already decided everything for the Poles.

And how would you immediately respond symmetrically if you had such an opportunity?

Kuleba is wishful thinking. If this happens, anyone can shoot down what he doesn’t like flying near his borders.

[fruc]

I think this: Poland will not transfer its air defense systems to Ukraine, which cost billions and where they will definitely be destroyed. But they won’t dare shoot down missiles over Ukraine from Polish territory; the conflict will escalate to a qualitatively different level.

[Smoked]

So stop. The next news is how the Poles are afraid for their Ridzikovo with the American missile defense system.
Or do they think the Russian Federation is not Iran?

«Kiev plans cover the western regions of Ukraine with Polish Patriot anti-aircraft systems" -

— All that remains is to bring these “plans” to the Poles...

[Pavel73]

Well done Kuleba! Let's continue in the same spirit. All of Galicia, all of this Bandera viper - to Poland. The Poles can handle Bandera in no time. They will say “Either Bandera, or Europe with NATO!”, and the Galicians will tear down all the monuments to Bandera with their own hands and declare him a Nazi.

The Ukrainians apparently had a brainstorming session on how to acquire freebies.
The first sentence: “Let us produce weapons at our enterprises, you will buy them and transfer them to us.” Brilliant!
The second sentence is: “Let you carry out the air defense of the western part of the country for us.” And then bingo, then you can also make claims when ours cover their facilities.
I look forward to more results from these mind games. But apparently the bad ones are not yet willing to follow the lead, and the French have somehow become quiet with their legion.

[Wolfskin1993]

but they didn’t quiet down.. But they “got two hundred” in Slavyansk. That is, they became completely silent... forever.

[rocket757]

Question... are these “translation problems” or are the wishful thinking of the greengrocer passed off as real agreements/decisions between allied countries?

[Russia Forever]

Until the first dagger these patriots

[kroskar99]

Better this - “Poland will undertake to transfer a constant percentage of GDP to Ukraine. President Duda: I am sure that after the completion of negotiations the government will conclude this agreement.” Read the comments. https://twitter.com/rafalhubert/status/1779258482224488922

Kuleba: Kyiv plans to cover the western regions of Ukraine with Polish Patriot anti-aircraft systems

There is no trick against scrap! Against supersonic speed, your Patriots are just scrap metal. And it’s high time for the psheks to draw conclusions, looking at the slaves and what is happening with the infrastructure of Zalezhalaya. Try on the tracing paper for yourself, so to speak, taking into account the fact that they will be hammered a lot at once...

[alystan]

Kuleba is not lying, because the western regions of Ukraine are already the eastern lands of Poland. On the other side of the boundary.

[A. Evert]

Poland has already determined its position: missiles from the old Soviet air defense systems "Neva", "Angara", "Krug", which are located in Poland, are being transferred to Ukraine. Pan Duda the Righteous did not say anything about other missiles. Apparently, after being bitten by a dog in February 2024, the kuleba experiences irreversible changes in its brain matter. Well, one can only sympathize with a sick person. Although he doesn't deserve sympathy. Simply insane. Or did the glitches start after the dog?
