Polish opposition claims government secretly sent Patriot missiles to Ukraine

In Poland, the opposition has raised the claim that the government secretly shipped Patriot missiles, vital for the country's air defense, to Ukraine. Deputy Parliament Speaker Krzysztof Bosak suggested that this transfer may have been carried out without parliament's approval.

Speaking to Kanał Zero television, Bosak said, "There is very worrying information that the government secretly sent Patriot missiles, which are extremely necessary for our air defense system, to Ukraine bypassing parliament. If this is true, it is a scandal."

Head of the Polish Presidential Office Zbigniew Bogucki also commented on the issue, saying the missiles may have been sent by the government without the approval of President Karol Navrotski. In an interview with Polsat News, Bogucki said, "It is worth recalling the incident with the MiGs. A similar situation occurred there, and the president was not informed."

Bosak also called for the adoption of a law that would prohibit the transfer of any Polish weapons abroad without parliament's approval.

The New York Times newspaper wrote in June that Ukraine was experiencing serious shortages of interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defense systems. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also admitted in early June that his country's air defense could not cope with ballistic missiles.

Russia argues that arms shipments to Ukraine hinder a resolution and involve NATO countries directly in the conflict. The Kremlin has stated that the West's arming of Ukraine does not contribute to negotiations and will have a negative impact.
