Poland Seeks U.S. Nuclear Weapons Deployment Amid Rising Tensions

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda has urged the U.S. to station nuclear weapons in Poland, reiterating his 2022 request. Duda’s adviser, Wojciech Kolarski, said today that nuclear protection will strengthen country’s security as a NATO member bordering Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia’s Kaliningrad.



Meanwhile, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed ongoing talks with France regarding President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to extend France’s nuclear deterrent to Europe. However, Moscow condemned the idea as extremely confrontational.
