Poland is open to the deployment of American nuclear weapons on its territory, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee of the Republic Jaroslaw Kaczynski said in an interview with the German edition of Welt am Sonntag. “If the Americans asked us to place American nuclear weapons in Poland, we would be open to it. This would significantly increase the containment of Moscow, ”said Kaczynski (quoted by Spiegel).
He noted that so far this issue has not been raised. In his opinion, the initiative should come from the Americans.
The Deputy Prime Minister also called for the opening of a new NATO command center in Poland, such as the one in Brunssum (Netherlands), from where joint operations of the North Atlantic Alliance are planned and conducted. “That would be a clear signal to Moscow,” Kaczynski said.
