Podolyak: Air defense is not about escalation, but about protecting civilians from missiles.
Air defense is not about escalation, but about protecting civilians from missile attacks, according to Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the head of Ukraine's presidential office.
He said this in a post on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
"'Patriot system' and 'escalation' – words that cannot be in the same sentence. Air defense is not about offensives, but about protecting children and civilians from missiles," Podolyak said.
"A wise initiative by Poland. Correct words of the NATO Secretary General. Waiting for Germany's decision," he wrote.

German government spokesperson Christiane Hoffmann said that the German side was discussing with its allies Poland's initiative to transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine.
