Poland signs three-year defence cooperation plan with UK

A bilateral meeting between Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister and the UK's Defence Secretary took place in Warsaw on Tuesday. The three-year plan signed by the two countries is the result of the Polish-British Treaty adopted a few months ago. According to Warsaw, the main areas of cooperation between Poland and the United Kingdom will include new technologies, artificial intelligence, drones, anti-drone systems, modern deterrence measures, as well as traditional exercises to build capabilities and cooperation in different conditions. The more ready we are to face against Russia, to defend every inch of NATO territory, the less likely we are to find ourselves in that scenario. And that's why today is so important. So I'm looking forward to deepening those ties of friendship, of military cooperation, of defence industrial partnership. The ministers insisted there is full unity and coordination between their countries when it comes to supporting Ukraine. The British defence secretary also referred to the hybrid attacks carried out by Russia against Poland, which he explicitly described as terrorism. The politicians also discussed relations with the United States. The Polish defense minister said that both countries agreed on a policy of strengthening and building up Europe's own capabilities, but do not support complete independence from the United States.
