DHAKA: The US should increase its military presence in Poland and in other Nato members in central and eastern Europe in light of the Ukraine crisis.
Polish defence minister Tomasz Siemoniak said on Saturday, reports The Straits Times.
Siemoniak said Washington was open towards the idea but detailed talks were yet to begin.
US vice president Joe Biden visited Poland last Tuesday and confirmed plans to deploy elements of a US missile shield in Poland by 2018 and met with the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Bronislaw Komorowski.
‘The US must increase its presence in (central and eastern) Europe, also in Poland,’ he said on RMF FM radio.
