NATO will send more troops to Poland – Polish Radio

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization will send more troops to Poland and other countries on its eastern frontier, according to sources quoted by Polish Radio. Officially, decisions will be made on the alliance’s Wales summit, which starts on Thursday. NATO will also create new rapid response forces, possibly headquartered in Szczecin, northwestern Poland, the sources said. The forces, consisting of several thousand soldiers, are meant to be ready to move to a given place in five days. No decision will be made, however, on establishing permanent NATO bases in Poland. The diplomats stressed that any decisions made during the Wales summit will only set a framework for more detailed work in the coming months.
