NATO to Deploy ‘Military Bases’ in Poland in September
Local Editor
US Ambassador to the Republic Stephen Mull said the US will consider the possibility of deploying NATO military bases in Poland, and a decision on this issue can be made in September during the alliance summit in Wales, according to ITAR-TASS news agency on Thursday.
"The US is aware of the Polish desire to deploy NATO military bases in the country, and I think it is crucial to consider this initiative," Mull said.
"It's not just the United States but the entire alliance. This is an important topic for discussion, which will take place in the UK in September," he added.
According to him, "if Russia so radically changes the atmosphere of security in this part of Europe, it requires a certain response from NATO."
Mull added that the US plans to keep additional forces that arrived in Poland in recent weeks at least until the end of the year.
In March, 12 US F-16 fighters and about 300 troops arrived in Poland for the exercises and 150 paratroopers came at the end of April.
