On September 16, it was reported that Poland is preparing a new package of military aid for Ukraine, which may include several PAC-3 anti-ballistic interceptor missiles for the U.S. Patriot air defense systems.

Earlier, Poland had transferred five Patriot missiles to Ukraine, which sparked a major scandal among the right-wing opposition.
