WASHINGTON, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, EB5 Capital joins Huntington Hotel Group and Republic Urban Properties in celebrating the grand opening of Gateway at Millbrae Station in Millbrae, a city just west of the San Francisco Bay, in San Mateo County, California.

Decisions on Patriots in Slovakia, Poland to Be Discussed with Allies Germany Says

German Defense Ministry said any decisions on its deployment of Patriot air-defense systems to Poland and Slovakia will be discussed with allies in Europe, after a report said Berlin planned to end the deployment by the end of the year.

The planned end to the deployment was reported by some German media, citing a defense ministry spokesperson. The report said the nations had been informed about the plans.

“The statements on deployment plans of our Patriot squadrons in Poland and Slovakia referred to original plans,” the ministry later said in a statement.

defense Minister Boris Pistorius will discuss and coordinate the matter with partners at Friday’s meeting of the Ukraine defense Contact Group in Ramstein, it added.

The ministry said decisions are made “in close coordination with SACEUR (NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe) and always require a separate political decision”.

Berlin offered to deploy three of its Patriot units to Poland last year after two men were killed by a stray Ukrainian missile that struck near the Polish border last November.

The air defense system started arriving in Slovakia from NATO partner countries last March, shortly after the start of the war in Ukraine, to help reinforce the defense of NATO’s eastern flank.

Germany has also delivered a Patriot system to Ukraine to support the country in the war against Russia.
