Poland gets Pentagon green light for permanent US base near Russia; 5,000 troops planned

Poland aims to make the American military presence permanent, currently hosting around 10,000 American troops. Polish officials plan to accommodate an additional 5,000 personnel through permanent infrastructure development. The investment for this infrastructure is estimated between 15 billion and 17 billion zlotys. Proposed locations for new installations include Bydgoszcz, Poznań, Szczecin, and Wrocław. A permanent deployment would enhance deterrence against potential Russian aggression and improve military coordination.
