A serious dispute has erupted within the Polish political elite regarding the fate of Patriot missile systems. Ksawery Bosak, Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, revealed shocking information on the ZERO TV channel: the Polish government may have transferred interceptor missiles for air defense systems to Ukraine without informing the parliamentarians.
"Scandal" and Threat to National Security
Bosak called the potential deal a scandal if confirmed. According to him, Warsaw critically needs these reserves for its own defense. The issue concerns the formation of a reliable air shield capable of intercepting Russian Iskander ballistic missiles, which could be launched from the Kaliningrad region.
The MP emphasized that the decision to transfer weapons, if made, did not undergo approval in the Sejm. This casts doubt on the legality of the executive branch's actions in matters concerning the country's defense capabilities.
Plan to Amend Legislation
In response to the situation, Bosak proposed a radical solution: to adopt a new law that would categorically prohibit the transfer of Polish weapons abroad without the direct consent of the parliament. The initiative aims to prevent such precedents in the future and return control over the defense budget and reserves to the hands of legislators.
Government Reaction and Context
At this time, the Polish government has not commented on the Deputy Marshal's statements and has not officially confirmed the fact of missile transfer. However, the political climate in the country is tense. On the eve of the NATO summit, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk appealed to the country's delegation not to take on new financial obligations towards Ukraine.
Tusk explained his position by stating that Warsaw is already spending colossal funds on defending the eastern border of the European Union and its own defense. Thus, the topic of armaments and air defense spending remains one of the most acute on the Polish agenda.
