Poland Can No Longer Supply Ukraine Patriot Missiles
Poland can no longer supply Ukraine with Patriot missile interceptors due to its own depleted stockpiles, which have been further strained by increased demand following attacks on Iran. The Polish foreign minister stated that other NATO countries still possess these weapons and could potentially transfer them.
