WARSAW - The commitment of Nato to defend Poland in any situation is crucial, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters in Warsaw after meeting the head of the pact Mark Rutte.
"Reaffirming the commitment that Nato is obliged to defend Poland in any critical situation is very important for us," Mr Tusk said.
He added that representatives of the United States have repeatedly emphasised that they will always be ready to defend Poland and other Nato countries in a situation of threat.
Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte confirmed the readiness to defend its allies and added that any attack will be met with "the full force of this fierce alliance".
"Our reaction will be devastating. This has to be very clear to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and anyone else who wants to attack us," said Mr Rutte. REUTERS
