Poland’s globalist foreign minister said his country should intercept and neutralize Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory before they breach its airspace on Monday. Radoslaw Sikorski’s remarks, made during an interview with the Financial Times, come despite NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg opposing the action.
Sikorski emphasized the necessity of protecting national airspace independently of NATO’s stance, suggesting that objects heading toward Poland warrant action before reaching Polish skies. He underscored that safeguarding airspace is a constitutional duty for each NATO member.
“Membership in NATO does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace,” Sikorski said. He also described such actions as legitimate self-defense, highlighting the potential risks from missile debris should they enter national territory.
Sikorski is noted for his anti-Russian stance. Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, he posted on social media a ‘thank you’ to the United States for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline. However, last month, it was revealed the Ukrainians may have conducted the operation as Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national they believe responsible for the pipeline’s destruction.
In July, Poland signed an agreement with Kiev, permitting the interception of missiles over Ukraine. Nonetheless, the Polish government indicated it would not intervene in Ukrainian airspace without prior consultation with other NATO members. Meanwhile, NATO has consistently declined requests to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, citing the risk of direct military confrontation with Russia.
Just last week, an unidentified object, likely a military drone, crossed into Polish airspace from Ukraine. The Polish armed forces could not engage the object due to its unidentified nature.
