Poland Assembles Largest Military Aid Package Yet for Ukraine

Poland is preparing its largest and most comprehensive military aid package for Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced the upcoming assistance package on Polskie Radio, emphasizing that Warsaw will not reduce its support for Kyiv despite ongoing Russian attacks.

The Polish Foreign Minister stated that increased Russian bombardments will only result in stronger solidarity with Ukraine.

He emphasized that Warsaw does not expect Russian behavior to change through diplomatic statements alone and is actively preparing for further escalation, noting that Russia’s hybrid warfare actions—including sabotage attempts, arson, drone attacks, and airspace violations—have already taken on a kinetic character.

"Russian generals have been threatening us with nuclear war for 20 years now," he recalled. He noted that Kremlin propagandists do this constantly. "This is an area where Russia obviously has an advantage, but, as it discovered in the case of Ukraine, this advantage is difficult to convert into use," Sikorski analyzed. "After all, if Russia could end this war through nuclear blackmail, it would have already done so," he argued.

When asked on Polskie Radio about potential Polish involvement in accelerating the delivery of Patriot air defense missile systems to Ukraine, a measure previously mentioned by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the minister noted that specific defense deliveries remain under the purview of the Ministry of National Defense.

To further reinforce Ukraine’s air defense, the European Union has recently approved $7.1 billion under the Ukraine Support Loan, explicitly clearing the way for Kyiv to procure American PAC-3 missiles for its Patriot systems via NATO mechanisms.

Announced by EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, the package includes special exemptions allowing Ukraine to acquire critical US interceptors alongside domestic long-range drones, missiles, and potential Gripen fighter jets.

On September 13, a Russian drone strike targeted a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train in Ukraine’s Volyn region, occurring just two kilometers from the Polish border.

While no injuries were reported aboard the train, the attack also hit infrastructure near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing, damaging several parked trucks and a nearby gas station.

Following the strike, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for a full trade embargo and comprehensive sanctions against Moscow, stating that Russian strikes near the border showed Moscow’s terror was knocking on the doors of the EU and NATO.
