Poland’s President Andrzej Duda doubled down on remarks that the NATO member was ready to host the alliance’s nuclear weapons. Lithuanian counterpart Gitanas Nauseda said the idea of deploying nuclear weapons would be a deterrent to Russia. Both Duda and Nauseda attended a joint military drill on their countries’ borders, along the Suwalki Gap. The “Brave Griffin” military exercise near Russia’s border highlights Poland’s readiness to militarily help Lithuania if required, the two countries say. Meanwhile, Polish President Duda told The Wall Street Journal that NATO should avoid provocations against Russia if its airspace is violated by Russian missiles.
