Germany proposed shooting down Russian missiles over Ukraine from Polish territory

The expert noted that Western support for Kyiv needs a change in strategy. In particular, he believes that NATO countries should use air defense systems on the eastern borders of the bloc.

“From now on, partners must use multiple Patriot systems on our eastern borders to shoot down all Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine that are within their reach,” said the former German Defense Ministry official.

Lange called on the alliance for “unconventional solutions” in the short term. He expressed confidence that such actions by NATO comply with international law. The expert cited the example of allies’ assistance to Israel in repelling an Iranian attack.

Earlier, the coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council, John Kirby, explained why the United States does not protect Ukraine from air attacks in the same way as Israel during an attack from Iran. He noted that these are different conflicts and different airspace. British Defense Secretary David Cameron also refused to help Kyiv counter drone attacks, as was the case with Iran in Israel, due to the risk of escalation and large-scale war in Europe.
