According to him, such a request will be announced at the NATO summit, which will be held in Madrid on June 29-30.

“We are looking for more troops and we want to increase the readiness of the allied forces in case of a threat. I confirm that we are trying to place a brigade group in Poland within NATO structures. For several years we have been receiving American soldiers on Polish soil, their numbers are increasing, and Maintaining this permanent presence is one of my priorities,” Blaszczak said.

The minister noted that the security of the region is one of NATO’s priorities

“NATO is already supporting its partners from countries most vulnerable to attack from Russia, such as Georgia and Moldova. The security of our region, including the eastern flank of the Alliance, and therefore the whole of NATO, is now a priority issue,” he said. .
