The Bundeswehr will terminate the deployment of its Patriot missile defense systems in Poland on Friday and will also pull the soldiers that are servicing them, the DPA news service reported, citing the German Defense Ministry.
"Poland and Germany stand shoulder to shoulder in defending NATO's eastern flank. For me this is a very important sign of solidarity in the alliance as well as friendship and unity between our nations," DPA quoted German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius as saying.
Germany provided Poland with US-made Patriot missile defense systems earlier this year. They were originally expected to remain there for six months. On July 3, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that the Patriots would remain in Polish at least until the end of the year.
