Poland joins European ballistic missile defense coalition with Ukraine
Poland formally joined the European Sky Shield-style counter-ballistic missile coalition, alongside Ukraine and nine other states, after being absent from the July launch. Polish PM Tusk called the omission a misunderstanding and said Polish defense firms are assessing industrial contributions. This expands the coalition's industrial base and political weight, though Ukraine's role remains symbolic given its own air defense needs.
