Poland's President Andrzej Duda has publicly urged the U.S. to station nuclear warheads on Polish soil as a deterrent against Russia, according to a Financial Times report. 💥 The proposal followed talks with Keith Kellogg, former U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy for Ukraine and Russia.
Duda emphasized NATO's eastward expansion since 1999, arguing the alliance's infrastructure should 'shift east' to match evolving security needs. 🛡️ 'For me, this is obvious,' he stated, adding that hosting U.S. nukes would enhance regional safety.
While the Biden administration hasn't publicly responded, the request signals growing unease in Eastern Europe over Russia's geopolitical moves. Analysts say the proposal could reshape NATO's strategy—raising questions about escalation risks and alliance unity.
