As RIA Novosti reported, the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry said this after a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Washington.

“This should not be ruled out, but vice versa,” he said, answering the question whether it is possible to further strengthen the US military presence in Poland.

Rau also stated that, according to the strategy of the North Atlantic Pact, "deterrence and defense must be symmetrical".

On February 3, the first US aircraft began airlifting additional US troops to Europe.
