Poland’s president, Andrzej Duda, says the NATO members would be ready to host the nuclear weapons of the military alliance’s other members in response to Russia’s moving its nuclear weapons to neighboring Belarus.
President Andrzej Duda made it clear through the comments in an interview published on Monday in the Fakt tabloid.
Russia has recently relocated its nuclear weapons to Belarus, Duda said in a reference to Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko’s announcement in December.
“If there were a decision by our allies to deploy nuclear weapons within the nuclear sharing area also on our territory in order to strengthen the security of NATO’s eastern flank, we are ready”, Duda said.
Further, he said, Poland is aware of its obligations within the 32-member alliance that includes the United States. Moreover, PM Donald Tusk, who shares Duda’s view on the national security of Poland, says to journalists that the nation’s security and military potential are their priorities, but he needs to discuss these suggestions with Duda urgently.
PM Tusk also added I would also like any potential initiatives to be, first of all, well prepared by the individuals responsible for them, and all of us to be absolutely positive that we want it. “This idea is absolutely massive, I would say, and very serious. I would need to know all the circumstances that have led the president to make these declarations”.
Duda has also previously spoken of Polan’s openness to nuclear sharing within NATO, before Tusk’s government came to power in December.
Moving In Moscow, a Kremlin spokesperson said any deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons in Poland would be met with steps necessary for Russia’s national security.
“In a daily news conference, Dmitry Peskov said “the military will, of course, analyze the situation if such plans are implemented, and in any case will do everything necessary, all the necessary retaliatory steps to guarantee our safety”.
