This was stated by the Deputy Chief of the Polish General Staff Karol Dymanowski.

According to him, several thousand American soldiers are currently deployed in Poland and are involved in exercises.

Answering the host's question about whether the number of US troops in Poland may increase to 100,000, he said that this is a realistic scenario.

"These are NATO's plans, which were approved at the political level at the last NATO summit in Vilnius. Previously, there were 40,000 soldiers at the Alliance's headquarters, now there are 300,000," Dymanowski said.

The deputy chief of the general staff noted that "soldiers will arrive in the country in case of a threat even before the war starts". According to him, the Alliance has various ready-made scenarios to adequately respond to the aggression.

  • At the end of February, Polish President Andrzej Duda said he did not believe that Russia would attack NATO countries. In his opinion, NATO members are well-prepared and have modern equipment.
