Germany will help Poland strengthen its eastern border

German military personnel have joined the Polish “Shield East” project, which aims to strengthen NATO’s defense infrastructure on its eastern flank.

“At Poland’s invitation, Bundeswehr personnel are supporting the implementation of the ‘Eastern Shield’ program. A German unit, together with Polish Army personnel, is carrying out engineering tasks to strengthen the defense infrastructure on NATO’s northeastern flank,” the statement reads.

The Polish Ministry of Defense noted that these measures are a response to the changing security environment following Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

The Polish Ministry of National Defense reported this on the social media platform X.

As a reminder, Poland has extended its ban on accepting asylum applications at the border with Belarus.

Trump stated that the U.S. may allow Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missiles.

As a reminder, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Spain ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, stating his intention to sever trade relations and halt visits between the two countries.

Ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, U.S. President Donald Trump once again accused allies of underfunding the Alliance, while praising the work of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
