by Chris York andThe Kyiv Independent, April 22, 2024

Poland is ready and willing to allow NATO allies to deploy nuclear weapons on its territory, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in an interview published on April 22.

Speaking to Fakt, Duda highlighted how Russia has already taken similar steps with its own allies, having transferred tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus last year.

The president said the topic of placing U.S. nuclear weapons in Poland “has been a topic of Polish-American talks for some time.”

“If our allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons as part of nuclear sharing also on our territory to strengthen the security of NATO‘s eastern flank, we are ready for it,” he said.

“We are an ally in the North Atlantic Alliance, and we also have obligations in this respect, i.e., we simply implement a common policy.”…………………….  https://kyivindependent.com/poland-nuclear-weapons-duda/
