Polish President Karol Nawrocki thinks his country should start developing nuclear defenses, given the alleged threat from Moscow. In an interview with Polsat television on Feb.15, Nawrocki described himself as “a great supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project” and argued that the country should develop its security strategy “based on nuclear potential,” reported Politico.
He added: “This path, with respect for all international regulations, is the path we should take. ... We must work towards this goal so that we can begin the work. We are a country right on the border of an armed conflict. The aggressive, imperial attitude of Russia toward Poland is well known.”
When asked if the U.S. would allow Poland to take this direction, as Warsaw is a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, Nawrocki said, “I don’t know this, but we need to act in a direction so that we can start the work.”
Nawrocki was asked by the interviewer whether he was referring to a nuclear sharing program as is being discussed between Germany and France, and he insisted he was talking about a “Polish project … a Polish nuclear potential.”
