Polish General and Chief of General Staff, Wiesław Kukuła, emphasized that Poland will not shoot down missiles unless they violate Polish airspace, stating clearly, "No. Our and the allied position is clear. We will not do this. Today, our responsibility for protecting the union sky is determined by our borders." This highlights Poland's strict border defense policy and reluctance to engage in Ukraine's conflict.
Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski maintains that neighboring countries to Ukraine have the responsibility to guard their airspace, distancing Poland from Military commitments over Ukraine. This stance adds to concerns among NATO leaders about potential escalation.
Poland's Deputy Prime Minister warned that Ukrainian President Zelensky's request for Poland to intercept missiles could lead to a direct confrontation with Russia, stating that shooting down missiles would mean Poland entering a war.
