Poland has proposed hosting a production facility for Patriot air defence missiles on its territory, contingent on Ukraine obtaining a license from the United States. Polish Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka stated that Warsaw considers its own territory to be a safer location for such a plant compared to Ukraine. This proposal was made in response to statements regarding the potential for Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles. ## Disagreement on US decision Reports differ on the status of a US decision regarding a license for Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles. Telegrafi reported that a US State Department spokesperson confirmed that negotiations were ongoing and no final decision had been made as of 23 September. However, the same report from Telegrafi also cited an informed source suggesting that "certain progress" had been made regarding the production of Patriot missiles following a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskky and Donald Trump. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated digests mention the US State Department spokesperson's confirmation that negotiations regarding a license for Ukraine were ongoing. The left-rated report from Telegrafi and the centre-rated report from ZN.UA both included this detail. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 14% (1) - Centre: 29% (2) - Right: 57% (4) 11 of 18 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

It detailed the proposal, quoting Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka on Poland's reasoning that its territory is safer. The report also noted that US negotiations for a license were ongoing, while also mentioning progress made after a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump. ### Centre - The centre-rated report from ZN.UA focused on Poland's proposal to build a Patriot plant on its territory instead of Ukraine. It quoted Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka stating that Poland had put forward the offer if a plant was planned for Ukraine, citing security concerns. The report also mentioned Poland's ongoing efforts to establish a service centre and later production, independent of Ukraine, and noted that Warsaw had previously proposed a "triangle cooperation" with the US and Ukraine for Patriot interceptor production. ### Right - The right-rated reports from EADaily, topwar.ru, Korrespondent.net, and news-pravda.com all highlighted Poland's offer to host a Patriot missile production plant for Ukraine. EADaily stated Warsaw's decision was based on safety concerns, citing Deputy Defence Minister Magdalena Sobkovyak-Chernetsky. Topwar.ru also mentioned safety as the motive for Poland's offer. Korrespondent.net reported Poland's desire to host the plant, and news-pravda.com framed it as Poland lobbying for the deployment of such a plant on its territory. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
