Details
According to Tusk, he received this information from the Commander of NATO's Joint Forces in Europe, General Alexis Grinkevich.
The Americans are seriously preparing for a situation that is not a direct military threat. This is not about tragic predictions, but both Washington and my guest, General Grinkevich, are convinced that the global opponents of the West — and in Poland's case, this is primarily Russia — will be ready for confrontation in 2027
According to Tusk, the most serious threats to Poland and Europe are border tensions, a sense of external threat, and attempts at internal destabilization. He also announced significant investments in defense and the Polish military industry to strengthen the country's security.
