Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz has insisted that a decision on this can only be made by NATO as a whole
Poland will not shoot down missiles over Ukrainian territory until a decision is made by all members of NATO, Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said in an interview with Polish radio on Thursday.
Kiev has for months been calling for the US-led military bloc to extend its defense coverage into Ukrainian territory.
A number of Polish officials have opposed the idea, with Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski accusing Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of wanting to “drag Poland into the war with Russia” and being ungrateful for Warsaw’s continued military assistance.
Speaking to Radio Zet, Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed that no missiles would be shot down over Ukraine by NATO forces until the bloc reaches a unanimous decision on the issue.
”Today, there is no such decision,” the defense minister said.
