Poland's support of Ukraine amid Russia's full-scale invasion

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland has become one of Ukraine's most active allies. Warsaw has provided a significant amount of military support and is also helping to train Ukrainian soldiers.

According to the spokesperson for the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pawel Wronski, Warsaw is currently considering shooting down Russian missiles during the Russian shelling of Ukraine.

According to media reports, the Baltic states and Poland are also considering a scenario of sending in troops if Russia gains success on the battlefield.
