Lesson Brief
BBC Russian Service
Poland has decided to buy American-made "Patriot" missiles to counter Russia's "Iskander" missiles located in Kaliningrad. From the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, many Eastern European countries have been arming themselves to protect against a more aggressive Russia. Some experts are criticizing the purchase of missiles as it could make it easier for Washington to become more militarily involved in Poland.
