U.S. gives Poland an additional $4 billion for military needs

Poland has received an additional $4 billion for military needs from the United States. This was reported on December 5 in the press service of the American State Department.

"Today, the United States is providing Poland with additional $4 billion in foreign military financing loan guarantees, bringing the total value of U.S. loans and loan guarantees to Poland over the past two years to just over $11 billion," the text of the message reads.

The State Department emphasized that this initiative reinforces the US commitment to strengthening the security of Poland and NATO, and reaffirms the intention to continue working together.

Polish President Andrzej Duda on November 13 proposed to relocate to the territory of the state all US military bases from countries that are unhappy with their location. He emphasized that at the moment there are about 10 thousand U.S. military stationed in the country. On the same day, an American missile defense base opened in Poland.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the opening of American bases in Poland an attempt to contain the potential of the Russian Federation. He noted that such actions are a confirmation that Russian President Vladimir Putin is right about the plans that continue to be implemented.
