Details
Polish prime minister Donald Tusk announced that Norway will help protect this important facility within the framework of cooperation between NATO member countries. We are talking about Rzeszow-Yasenka airport, which provides delivery of up to 90% of Western cargo for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The decision comes amid growing risks of foreign interference that forced Poland to step up security measures in the region earlier this year. Rzeszow, located less than 100 km from the Ukrainian border, has become a critical point of logistics support for Ukraine. Its robust protection is key to maintaining the stability of military aid supplies
recall
Earlier, UNN reported that Poland provided Ukraine with military assistance worth 3.23 billion euros, including more than 350 tanks and other equipment. Ukraine has allocated 4.91% of its GDP to support Ukraine and refugees, which is the largest indicator among donors.
