Poland joins anti-ballistic missile coalition with Ukraine

  • On Friday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland has joined the Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition, a group developing integrated air defence systems to complement US-made Patriot systems protecting European skies.
  • Addressing earlier confusion, Tusk admitted there had been "a certain misunderstanding" regarding Poland's initial exclusion, but clarified it is "now clear that Poland is also part of this initiative."
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted the inaugural summit of the "C8," or Carpathian Eight, uniting leaders from Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary.
  • Tusk thanked Zelensky for addressing "difficult, painful issues from the past," including the Volhynia massacres, while Zelensky noted the coalition brings Poland and Ukraine "even closer to each other."
  • The C8 summit aims to provide impetus for Ukraine's path toward European Union membership, with Zelensky confirming "we will be partners" in the missile coalition to protect regional skies.
