Talk about mounting U.S. anti-aircraft defense system in Poland premature

“We are not speaking of mounting an anti-aircraft system in Poland. We just have an offer from the United States,” Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga told a news conference in Yerevan. In her words, the issue will be decided by the government but it’s premature to speak of it. “Security is a priority issue for Poland. U.S. plans have been arousing negative reaction in Russia for a long time. However the policy of declarative statement differs from the policy of actions,” she noted. The Polish FM underscored that all positions that will maintain the balance of forces in the region and won’t undermine European security should be taken into account during the talks.
