In a letter signed by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson and Democrat Steve Cohen, Biden is asked to "authorize Poland to intercept and neutralize missiles over Ukraine, especially those threatening to intrude into Polish airspace."
The request is based on Poland's desire to utilize its air defense resources over Ukrainian airspace to protect itself from Russian missiles and assist Ukraine in its defense.
According to the congressmen, in this context, Poland's request to intercept and neutralize missiles over Ukraine is both necessary and urgent as a means of supporting Ukraine and safeguarding the NATO front line.
