The Polish Defense Ministry confirmed the undisclosed Patriot missile transfer to Kiev after the leak ignited a political scandal
Polish military counterintelligence will investigate those responsible for exposing secret deliveries of Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz has announced.
The controversy erupted on Saturday after several Polish social media accounts reported that Warsaw had quietly transferred US-made PAC-3 Patriot interceptors to Kiev in March without parliamentary approval or informing the public.
Former Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak of the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party backed the whistleblowers, condemning the transfer as a move that weakened Poland’s own air defenses.
“After consulting with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, while maintaining responsibility toward public opinion and in accordance with legal regulations, I have ordered the declassification of all donations to Ukraine for the years 2022-2026,” Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote on X.
He added that he had instructed the Polish Military Counterintelligence Service to investigate those who had “intentionally sought to disclose state secrets.”
The minister noted that Poland’s military aid to Ukraine began under the previous PiS government, when Blaszczak served as defense minister from 2018 to 2023.
