Sikorski on shooting down Russian missiles from Polish territory:

This would require strengthening patrols over Poland within the allied circle.

- This is not yet a matter for a summit, as it is only an idea being discussed in allied circles, but as you know, Russian missiles are violating our airspace and people are dying. One of the missiles, the famous one, landed 10 km from my house after flying through 2/3 of Poland, and when they are already over our territory, shooting them down is not without risk to our citizens, so I believe it would be both legally and reasonably sound to shoot down missiles that threaten our airspace from our territory. We would be acting in self-defense, but Poland does not want to take individual action here; it would require strengthening patrols over Poland within the allied circle – stated Radosław Sikorski in an interview with journalists.
