During a joint press conference with the head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki, Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak said that the Patriot air defense systems transferred to Ukraine would be able to significantly increase the security of Poland, among other things.. It is reported by Ukrinform.

The American and German Patriot systems that will be delivered to Ukraine will also enhance the security of Poland.. This minimizes the risk of such an event, which we dealt with on November 15 last year, and also minimizes the risk of a blackout in Ukraine, and then another wave of migration,” said the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense..

Blaszczak added that the Patriot air defense system, which will be located in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, will come to Poland from Germany.. According to him, it is not yet known how many launchers will be transferred to Poland.. However, Blaszczak called the negotiating success of Warsaw that these missiles will be fully integrated into the Polish air defense system and will be controlled by Polish commanders..

At the same time, Morawiecki said that Poland had already received part of the funds from American and European funds as compensation for military equipment transferred to Ukraine.. He noted that now in Poland there is an ongoing discussion on how to get weapons that will replace what was transferred to Ukraine..
