Poland: Russian Attack Proves Ukraine Needs Support

Poland's Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz asserted that recent Russian attacks underscore the necessity of unwavering support for Ukraine. He criticized those urging a reduction in aid or a slower modernization of Poland's military, calling them "completely detached from reality."

"Therefore, we are doing everything we can to ensure that Russian missiles never reach Polish airspace and never threaten our security. We will never back down on this issue," Kosiniak-Kamysz declared on the social platform X. His statement came as Ukraine reported a significant escalation in Russian aerial assaults.

This proves that those who call for reducing support for Ukraine or modernizing the Polish army more slowly are completely detached from reality.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russia deployed around 1,450 attack drones, 1,640 guided aerial bombs, and 99 various types of missiles against Ukraine in the past week. Specifically, overnight Saturday into Sunday, Russia launched 41 missiles, including 25 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 10 Zircon missiles. Ukrainian forces managed to shoot down 18 of these missiles and neutralize 108 out of 125 Russian drones. Despite these defenses, 23 missile strikes and 10 drone impacts were recorded across 20 locations.

Therefore, we are doing everything we can to ensure that Russian missiles never reach Polish airspace and never threaten our security. We will never back down on this issue.
