The ministry said the joint exercises would involve practicing with drones and anti-drone systems, with details still to be worked out.
The announcement followed an offer of assistance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Speaking in Kyiv alongside Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Zelensky urged partners to adopt multi-layered air defenses that match threat and cost, arguing that advanced systems such as US-made Patriot missiles are too expensive to use against cheap drones.
“No one in the world has enough missiles to shoot down all different types of drones,” he said, adding that Ukraine is ready to share its experience with allies.
The move comes after what Warsaw described as a deliberate Russian incursion, when multiple drones crossed into Polish airspace overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Polish and allied aircraft engaged the drones, an operation that marked a first for a NATO member during the war in Ukraine, according to several officials.
Polish authorities have said the drones entered Polish airspace 19 times.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk rejected suggestions abroad that the breach could have been accidental, calling it a deliberate attack and a test of Poland and NATO’s response.
“There was no mistake,” senior officials said, as Warsaw pressed allies for tighter air defenses on NATO’s eastern flank.
The United Nations Security Council gathered for an emergency meeting in New York on Friday in response to the incident.
European allies condemned the violation, and several capitals signaled steps to reinforce air defense coverage in the region.
Poland has engaged allies under NATO’s Article 4, which triggers consultations among members when a country feels its security is threatened.
Officials in Warsaw and across the alliance said this week’s response was swift, and they warned that counter-drone defenses must be expanded to deter future provocations.
