Defend the Eastern Flank Airspace NATO Launches "Eastern Sentinel" System
Europe - In response to Russian air threats, NATO announced the deployment of the "Eastern Sentinel" to defend the eastern flank airspace. This operation will be supported by resources from Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal and U.S. Government Special Envoy for Ukraine Issues Keith Kellogg met on September 12. After the meeting, Shmyhal stated that both sides discussed the possibility of transferring a new Patriot system to Ukraine.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal said, "We discussed the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces receiving a new Patriot system and its ammunition. We provided the delegation with a combat report, as well as details about Russia's provocation against Poland. Russia is testing NATO's response through such actions, so NATO's response must be coordinated and decisive."
Poland's Foreign Minister said that the escalation of Russian attacks proves that Moscow has no intention of ceasing hostilities. During his visit to Kyiv on Friday, Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski stated that after Russian President Putin met with U.S. President Trump in Alaska, Russia increased its offensive efforts, indicating Russia's determination to continue its aggressive war.
The Polish Foreign Minister said that Russia "has no intention of ending the suffering of innocent people in Ukraine." Sikorski emphasized, "Our support remains unwavering. Facing an ongoing aggression, we will not abandon our friends and allies."
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Yevgeniyovych Sibiga pointed out that since Russia's invasion in 2022, Poland has provided 46 security assistance programs to Ukraine.
