Poland believes that the invasion of Ukraine annulled the 1997 NATO-Russia pact and wants to host nuclear weapons

Jakub Kumoch, head of the Foreign Policy Bureau of Poland, said that Warsaw wants to place nuclear weapons on its territory.

Here's What We Know

We are talking about participation in the program of common use of nuclear weapons, Nuclear Sharing. We first wrote about this three weeks ago. Then this aspiration was announced by the president Andrzej Duda.

The U.S. notes that it plans to stick to the NATO-Russia pact signed in 1997. Poland, on the other hand, believes that the pact was annulled after the Russian federation invaded Ukraine. The agreement assumes that NATO will not deploy nuclear weapons in countries that joined the alliance after 1997.

The Nuclear Sharing program implies the possibility of placing nuclear warheads in NATO countries that do not have their own nuclear weapons. Right now, only the US is ready to share this type of weapon, although France and Great Britain possess nuclear weapons.
