24.06.2026- Our meeting today was a preparation for two events: tomorrow's conference of the Ministers of Defence of the V4 Group in Budapest and the NATO Summit that will take place in Ankara in two weeks. But first and foremost I would like to thank the Czech Republic, the Minister and the Czech Armed Forces for sending a hundred soldiers, as well as attack helicopters, to bolster the defence of the Polish border as part of the NATO operation established after the drone attack on Poland. Together, we are responsible for security on the eastern flank of NATO. The Czech Republic understands and remembers this very well. The involvement, dedication and prolongation of this mission was a personal decision of the Minister, for which I am sincerely thankful. It is an honour to work together in the North Atlantic Alliance - said the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
