If you had a missile potentially coming at your country, would you want it intercepted above your country or before it entered your airspace? I hate our government but from a defence point of view, this seems entirely reasonable for Poland to intercept missiles over *western* Ukraine that are on a trajectory that looks like it would hit Poland. We've had numerous Russian things enter our airspace over the course of the war.

The other side of this is that Russia can just not shoot at the far side of Western Ukraine to avoid provoking Poland/NATO. The contested lands are in eastern Ukraine to begin with.

The problem with this reasoning is that Russia has no intention and no reason to bomb Poland. Therefore it's not reasonable for Poland to want missiles intercepted in a country that Russia is at war with.

Right, except we've had numerous missiles already enter (and crash) in Poland, as well as drones. We've had missiles that entered and exited Polish airspace as well.
