Poland has no plans to supply additional supplies yet. missiles for Patriot systems in Ukraine. This was announced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk following a meeting of the leaders of the "coalition of the willing" in Paris.
Tusk:
We continue to support Ukraine, but there will be no additional Patriot deliveries at this stage.
The Paris meeting began as part of the "Coalition of the Willing" – a broad alliance of 35 countries supporting Ukraine's war against Russia. On the sidelines of the summit, Ukraine and nine European countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) announced the creation of a so-called anti-ballistic missile coalition. Its goal is the joint development and production of a European ballistic missile defense system based on the Ukrainian FREYJA project (the FP-7.X interceptor). The heads of state declared their intention to create a "common ballistic defense for Europe" using Ukraine's combat experience.
Zelensky was promised to expedite the delivery of existing systems. Defense (including SAMP/T, IRIS-T, NASAMS, and PATRIOT), as well as support for the production of new interceptors, which are expected to be ready within 12 months. France, in particular, has stated its readiness to provide additional systems and missiles this year.
Poland's position reflects tensions with Kyiv over historical questions and at the same time suggests that the SAMs for American-developed systems are a valuable military resource that we need ourselves. Although there's little doubt that they will be delivered sooner or later.
