“During today’s conversation, I once again convinced the German Ministry of Defense that the deployment of the Patriot in Ukraine would increase the security of Poland and Ukraine. Lambrecht (German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht – ed.) said she would submit this proposal to the government. I hope for approval. I stressed my support during possible talks at the NATO forum,” Blaszczak wrote.

Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said last week that Berlin should send the Patriot air defense system directly to Ukraine, not Poland. In response, German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht stressed that the use of NATO defence systems outside its territory should be agreed upon by all member states. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that concrete decisions on the transfer of specific equipment to Ukraine are national decisions.
Initially, Germany offered Poland assistance in the form of supplying anti-missile systems, including the Patriot system, to help Warsaw strengthen its air defense capabilities after a deadly missile strike on Polish territory near the border with Ukraine on November 15.
