Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Poland Urged to Explore Nuclear Defense as Regional Tensions Rise
Caption: Poland Urged to Explore Nuclear Defense as Regional Tensions Rise. Polish President Karol Nawrocki says Poland should begin preparing for nuclear defense capabilities, citing growing security threats from Russia. Speaking to Polsat, Nawrocki argued that the country’s long-term security strategy should be built around what he called “nuclear potential,” while still respecting international law. He emphasized Poland’s geographic reality, noting it sits close to an active conflict zone and faces what he described as Moscow’s aggressive posture toward its neighbors. Moscow, he added, tends to react strongly to many security moves regardless. The comments come as European leaders debate stronger deterrence measures. Evika Siliņa of Latvia recently said at the Munich Security Conference that nuclear deterrence could open new strategic options, while Friedrich Merz confirmed discussions between Germany and France about a broader European shield. The debate also reflects growing uncertainty about long-term reliance on the United States for security guarantees, pushing some nations to consider new defense paths as tensions in the region continue.
