The member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) will again discuss the possibility of intercepting russian missiles over the territory of Ukraine.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, stated this in an interview with TVN 24.
According to him, there may be private differences of opinion among NATO members regarding Ukraine's request to shoot down russian missiles over regions bordering Poland and other western countries.
"We have a new NATO Secretary General. Another meeting of NATO ministers will take place next week. Perhaps this issue will be on the agenda of the negotiations," Sikorski said.
The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry believes that the possibility of intercepting russian missiles is a debate about where the right to self-defense begins and ends.
"Do we have the right to shoot down such a missile only after it is over our territory? There is no doubt about it, only then what happened in Przewodów can happen. Debris from such a missile can harm, injure or kill someone," the minister said.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on October 31, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine asked Poland to shoot down russian missiles in order to secure gas storage facilities in the Lviv Region.
It will be recalled that at the beginning of September, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Sikorski said that the Polish army is obliged to intercept russian missiles in the sky over Ukraine.
Later, the Polish Foreign Ministry stated that Sikorski's words were his personal opinion and did not reflect the official position of Warsaw.
