Defense Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, speaking during the NATO summit in Ankara on Tuesday, condemned critics of Poland\u2019s defense policy as peddling Russian narratives while labeling them “useful idiots.”<\/p>\n
Defense Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that accusations regarding the alleged disarmament of Poland reflect a Russian narrative that often operates without direct involvement from Russian services. He argued that there is no shortage of “useful idiots” in Poland willing to propagate such rhetoric.<\/p>\n
Kosiniak-Kamysz expressed a hope that these claims stem from stupidity, which he considers a mitigating circumstance, rather than deliberate subversion. However, he admitted that one should expect anything from certain radicals.<\/p>\n
Poland, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden have signed an agreement to establish a maintenance center for PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems in Europe. Kosiniak-Kamysz described these partners as Poland’s most trusted allies.<\/p>\n
During the Ankara conference, the Minister confirmed that Dutch Patriot systems will remain at the Jasionka airport until the end of the year. He characterized this extension as a gesture of allied solidarity and gratitude.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Kosiniak-Kamysz attended a ceremony in Bydgoszcz marking a cooperation agreement between the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), WZL-2, and the American firm Anduril Industries. The deal focuses on the assembly and production of Barracuda 500 autonomous long-range cruise missiles in Poland.<\/p>\n
The Minister labeled the Law and Justice (PiS) party as “complete hypocrites” for criticizing current government policy toward Kyiv. He noted that while the government continues to defend the previous administration’s initial support for Ukraine, PiS appears to want to forget those earlier decisions.<\/p>\n
Kosiniak-Kamysz also remarked on the radicalization of the opposition, suggesting that some politicians are effectively competing to emulate Grzegorz Braun. He concluded that it is likely uncomfortable for PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski to see Braun emerging as the leader of the opposition.<\/p>\n
