Poland in NATO

The ministers met in the format of the NATO-Ukraine Council, the North Atlantic Council and the Nuclear Planning Group.

The ministers agreed the plan for NATO security assistance and training for Ukraine (NATO Security Assistance and Support for Ukraine), a key deliverable for the NATO Summit.

The ministers also discussed the ongoing initiatives to bring Ukraine ever closer to NATO membership. These initiatives include capacity building projects to align Ukraine’s defence and security sectors with NATO standards, improve defence procurement, and enhance Ukraine’s defence-industrial base.

The ministers also addressed how to further strengthen our deterrence and defence and considered a new Defence Industrial Pledge to scale up military production, and solidify long-term cooperation with the industry.

The ministers discussed the ongoing campaign of hostile acts that Russia is conducting against Allies, including sabotage, cyber-attacks, and instrumentalized migration. They agreed a set of response options on which Allies can draw individually and collectively.

At the margins of the meeting Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz consulted with his counterparts from the U.S., Sweden and Lithuania. He also held a bilateral meeting with Italian minister during which they discussed the military cooperation between the two countries and current EU security initiatives.

Poland, Germany and Italy are the lead nations of the initiative. The aim of the coalition is to help Ukraine to meet its needs at the battlefield as well as develop armoured capabilities interoperable with NATO.
