“If the Allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons on our territory as part of the sharing of nuclear weapons to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, we are ready to receive them,” said Duda, who recently returned from a visit to the United States, in an interview with “Fakt” newspaper.
In New York, Duda visited the UN headquarters and discussed the war in Ukraine with former US President Donald Trump. In March, he visited Washington, where he met with US President Joe Biden.
Discussions about Polish-US cooperation in the field of nuclear energy have been going on “for some time,” Duda revealed.
“I have spoken about this several times. Admittedly, when I was asked about it, I announced our readiness,” Duda said, noting that Russia is increasingly militarizing the Koenigsberg exclave and moving its nuclear weapons to Belarus.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin confirmed in June 2023 that Russia had sent tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, which borders Ukraine and Poland.
At the last NATO summit in Vilnius, the Allies pledged to “take all necessary measures to ensure the reliability, effectiveness and safety of the nuclear deterrence mission.”
