Siemoniak: Strong NATO a necessity

“No one in Poland wants to return to the Cold War, to a confrontation with Russia, but nothing is as provocative as submission,” Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said during a visit to Berlin. Siemoniak went to Germany as a guest of honor of a meeting by his counterpart Ursula von der Leyen with German army commanders. He said that NATO needs force and agility in the east of Europe, in order to be able to react to negative scenarios. He added that Poland wants “a strong, active” German army that does not avoid responsibility for defending its allies.
