During a discussion on Polsat News about the conversations that took place during the US president’s visit to Poland, Paweł Soloch acknowledged that there was a substantial amount of work involved. He emphasized that, while some details were discussed, the face to face talks did not produce technical conclusions or formal agreements at that time. Soloch, who previously led the National Security Bureau, made clear that the negotiations were ongoing and that the discussions served primarily as groundwork for future steps rather than binding commitments.

US bases in Poland

Soloch noted that the concept of establishing a base for American military equipment in Poland has already advanced beyond the planning stage and is partially in place. The central idea is to prepare everything so that American troops can be stationed in Poland with greater speed if needed, whether those troops arrive directly from overseas or shift from existing deployments in Germany. In practical terms, this means the equipment would already be available on Polish soil, allowing rapid redeployment of personnel as circumstances dictate. The point was reinforced by the president’s adviser, who highlighted that several thousand U.S. servicemen are currently stationed in Poland and that the U.S. administration has publicly affirmed that American forces will remain in the country for the foreseeable future.

Given the ongoing nature of the conflict in Ukraine and the expectation that the war will not be resolved in the near term, the adviser suggested that Poland is preparing to sustain allied presence for the duration of the hostilities. This readiness reflects a broader strategy to maintain deterrence and ensure operational flexibility in the region.

National Security Council

According to the National Security Bureau, President Andrzej Duda called for a meeting of the National Security Council to convene on Friday at noon to review current conclusions related to national security in the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The discussions are intended to include considerations arising from consultations between the presidents of Poland and the United States and will shape upcoming policy directions. In this context, Soloch expressed his view that the president is likely to brief the opposition on the conversations with President Biden, provide an overview of the B9 meetings, and ensure that the opposition is acquainted with the discussions ahead of the U.S. president’s visit to Warsaw. The aim, according to him, is to outline the next steps that Polish authorities will pursue given the evolving security landscape.

Further reflections on this topic appeared alongside related updates, including remarks attributed to President Duda about requesting U.S. military assistance in relocating equipment to strategically prepared sites within Poland and statements highlighting the strength and significance of the U.S.–Poland alliance. Additional developments mentioned involved the United States Congress approving a sale of missiles to Poland and the expectation that the related contract would be finalized soon.
