Poland’s President Calls for Work on Nuclear Defenses, Citing Russia

He urged a legally compliant path to nuclear capacity in response to perceived threats on Poland’s border.

Overview

  • He told Polsat News he supports Poland joining a “nuclear project” and building its security strategy on nuclear potential.
  • He said Poland is right next to an armed conflict and described Russia’s stance toward Poland as aggressive and imperial.
  • He argued the effort should follow international regulations but said he cannot say if or when work toward such capabilities would begin.
  • Asked whether the United States would allow this under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, he said he did not know and stressed the need to act so Poland can start the work.
  • His remarks came as Germany’s Friedrich Merz discussed a European nuclear defense with France, and after Poland signed a 2025 treaty that Prime Minister Donald Tusk said could open the way to French nuclear protection.
