As many as 10,000 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) soldiers will be deployed in Poland as part of the Alliance’s expanded military presence on its eastern flank, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A NATO summit was held on July 8-9 in Poland’s capital and focused on relations with Russia. During the summit, the Alliance decided to strengthen its military presence in Eastern Europe on a rotational basis with four battalions in Poland and in the Baltic nations.

“We are not talking only about a few battalions — we are adding…[ultra-fast response] forces, the US brigade and missile shield base in Redzikowo. During different periods of time, even 10 thousand NATO soldiers could be placed in Poland. This is significant military support. For us, this is a geostrategic shift in the balance of forces in the East,” the minister told the weekly Do Rzeczy.
