Warsaw sees it as a response to Russia deploying its arms in Belarus, Prime Minister Mateus Morawiecki has said
Warsaw is asking NATO to include it into the bloc’s Nuclear Sharing Program, Prime Minister Mateus Morawiecki told journalists in Brussels on Monday. The program allows the deployment of US nuclear bombs on the territory of other nations.
Morawiecki called Poland’s appeal a response to Moscow’s decision to station its tactical nuclear arms in neighboring Belarus. “Due to the fact that Russia intends to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, we are… appealing to … NATO to [allow us] take part in the Nuclear Sharing Program,” the prime minister said.
The final decision on the issue would rest with Washington, Morawiecki said, adding that Warsaw declares its intention to “act quickly in this regard.” Poland “does not want to sit idly,” he said, while accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of increasing “all sorts of threats.”
