- We are together in the European Union, together in NATO. We are strong partners, for which I express my sincerest gratitude. I am very pleased to be in Bratislava today, accompanied by Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak, who is currently engaged in bilateral discussions. This is not a mere coincidence; it is the result of a strategic decision to cooperate, particularly in the field of arms production. I am particularly impressed by Slovakia's production capacity in the field of ammunition, particularly the 155mm variety, although other types are also noteworthy. The potential for growth is considerable, ranking among the largest in Europe and the world. We wish to collaborate with you in the development of the arms industry, as you represent a strategic partner in this field - stated Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz following a meeting with Slovak Defence Minister Robert Kaliňák.

- It is a great moment marking the culmination of 25 years of the Multinational Corps Northeast' presence in Szczecin with a change of command. This serves as an exemplar of the Corps' capacity for continuity, stability, and functionality. It is noteworthy that, following a quarter of a century of the Corps' presence in Szczecin, we are witnessing another change of command, which symbolises the continuity of the Corps. Freedom needs strength. It will not be able to defend itself. It is a highly valuable concept, but in the context of daily threats, it requires a unified determination and courage. For 75 years, NATO has constituted the most robust defence alliance in history. It safeguards peace, security and our civilisation - stated Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during a visit to the Headquarters of the Multinational Corps Northeast.

The primary focus of the discussion was the situation in Ukraine and the developments on the frontline. The Minister of Defence of Ukraine provided an account of the situation. Furthermore, we discussed the cooperation between the defence industries of the EU countries, the Northern Group - Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said following the meeting of the defence ministers of the Northern Group countries.

- The deployment of an American destroyer on Polish soil becomes a reality, representing a significant development in the security history of Poland, the United States and NATO, and marking a notable shift in the geopolitical landscape. It is like a milestone and a cornerstone at the same time. This represents a significant milestone in the fields of missile defence and air defence for all NATO countries, for Europe and for the United States. The installation of the US base in Redzikowo will serve to enhance the security of Europe, the United States, Poland and NATO as a whole. It will contribute to the strengthening of the most powerful alliance in the modern world - Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak - Kamysz stated during the opening of the base in Redzikowo.

Poland is a reliable ally, and we are committed to upholding our obligations as set forth in the North Atlantic Treaty. We expect the same level of commitment from our allies. The most pressing security concerns were discussed, and I also delivered a presentation on the provision of assistance to Ukraine. I emphasised that Poland has been providing support to Ukraine since the outset of the conflict, implementing a whole range of possible measures to assist the country. On behalf of the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, General Dymanowski presented details of the support provided to Ukraine.

An allied answer, allied proceedings relating to this matter are needed. The issue of cooperation with Ukraine – this was yesterday evening.
