Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk confirmed that US-made Patriot air defense systems in Poland will not be sent to Ukraine, emphasizing that these systems are dedicated to protecting Polish skies. He suggested that Washington could source another Patriot system elsewhere. Jacek Siewiera of the Polish National Security Bureau also opposed the transfer, citing Poland’s key role in NATO defense. Despite Ukraine’s repeated requests for more air defense systems to counter Russian attacks, and reports that President Biden approved sending another Patriot system from Poland, the transfer will not occur.
