To protect logistics hub that delivers aid to Ukraine: Germany proposes to redeploy Patriot in Poland
Germany has proposed to deploy Patriot air defense systems in Poland to protect a key logistics center important for the supply of aid to Ukraine.
This was reported by Reuters with reference to a statement by the German Ministry of Defense, Censor.NET reports.
It is noted that Patriot installations may be redeployed to Poland in early 2025.
"In this way, we will protect the logistics hub in Poland, which is central to the delivery of materials to Ukraine," said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
In turn, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz welcomed Germany's decision.
"We welcome Germany's decision to send Patriot batteries to Poland. From January 2025, we will have another allied support for our air defense," Kosiniak-Kamysz said in a statement, according to Polish Radio.
Earlier it was reported that by the end of this year Ukraine would receive two short- and medium-range IRIS-T air defense systems from Germany.
