"The day before, the two defense ministers reached an agreement that Poland agrees to Germany's proposal and approves the deployment of Patriot systems on its territory," Kollats said.

In November, Germany offered Poland Patriot systems to protect the country's airspace after a missile fell in the area bordering Ukraine.

In response, Poland offered to place the Patriot in Ukraine near the border with the Republic of Poland, but Berlin did not agree.

Warsaw expressed disappointment with such a decision.
