Polish President: ‘Ready’ to Host Nuclear Weapons

If NATO chooses to strengthen its eastern flank in the face of Russia’s increasing militarization, Polish President Andrzej Duda said his country is “ready” to host nuclear weapons on its territory.

“Russia is increasingly militarizing the Königsberg oblast (Kaliningrad). Recently, it has been relocating its nuclear weapons to Belarus,” Duda said in an interview published Monday by Polish outlet Fakt, reported Politico.

Duda added: “If our allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons as part of nuclear sharing on our territory as well, in order to strengthen the security of NATO’s eastern flank, we are ready for it.”
