Germany reveals why it refuses to provide Ukraine Patriots
(MENAFN) Berlin has provided an explanation for why it rejected Warsaw's request to transfer United States-made MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile systems to Ukraine rather than Poland.
A senior member of the foreign ministry claimed on Saturday that Germany lacked the power to act independently. Voice of America is supported by the United States government.
According to Tobias Lindner, a parliamentary secretary of state for the German Foreign Ministry, the Patriot missiles are a component of NATO's "collective defense system." According to the person, Berlin does not own Patriot missiles that it could easily transfer to a third party, such as Ukraine. Instead, Berlin advised enhancing Poland's security by deploying air defense systems along NATO's eastern frontier.
Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak first suggested the notion of delivering the United States-made missile systems straight to western Ukraine in late November. The minister claimed at the time that the action would both shield Ukraine from "blackouts" brought on by Russian attacks on its infrastructure and "increase security at our eastern border."
