In July Kyiv and Warsaw signed a security agreement which was believed at the time Poland would help Ukraine in downing weaponry flying to their country.
The Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said neighbouring countries to Ukraine are “responsible for protecting their own airspace,” this is something that the NATO chief does not want to happen, the Financial Times reported in September.
Earlier this month the Polish deputy Prime Minister has said President Volodymyr Zelensky is wanting “to drag Poland into war with Russia” by asking they shoot down missiles over Ukraine.
During an interview with Radio ZET Krzysztof Gawkowski warned that Poland would enter into war with Russia if they were to shoot down Russian missiles.
Gawkowski said, “Zelensky wants Poland to shoot missiles over Ukraine, which means he wants Poland to enter the war, which means he wants Poland to be at war with Russia.
“By these statements, Zelensky wants to drag Poland into the war with Russia.”
