According to media reports, security and defense capabilities are top priorities for the UK Prime Minister.

Poland, neighboring Ukraine, has already seen missiles enter its airspace and is now joining the European Sky Shield Initiative air defense umbrella.

During a government meeting last week, discussions focused on the potential inclusion of Poland in the European Sky Shield Initiative, a project that aims to create a unified air defense system across Europe. The urgency of such measures was underscored by recent attacks on Israel by Iran, demonstrating the effectiveness of Israel's Iron Dome missile system in intercepting threats.

On Thursday evening, the Polish Prime Minister announced that he will soon be hosting his British counterpart, Rishi Sunak. As Tusk said, cited by Reuters, “Our talks will probably be centered on how to strengthen the security of our sky as quickly as possible," Tusk said.
