Poland's Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz has publicly stated the country's intent to host both US and French nuclear weapons on its territory, signaling a significant shift in European security posture. This move, if realized, would extend NATO's nuclear deterrence further east and could escalate tensions with Russia, though details and timelines remain unspecified and subject to alliance-wide coordination. The claim is emerging with medium confidence across multiple sources.
