NATO must be prepared for various types of threats from Russia, including this year’s military exercises "Zapad-2025." - Polish President Andrzej Duda According to the Polish head of state, the threat posed by Russia should be a key topic at the NATO summit and will repeatedly appear on the agenda. “It’s no secret that the imperial policy of Russia is a threat, at least to the European part of NATO. In this context, the upcoming ‘Zapad-2025’ exercises announced by Russia are an important issue. We must remember that the last such drills were held four years ago — in the fall of 2021 — and their consequence was the Russian aggression against Ukraine and the stationing of some Russian forces in our part of Europe, closer to Poland’s borders... Therefore, I believe this issue must be highlighted and clearly communicated to our NATO allies, as it will require intensified attention and an additional demonstration of readiness from the Alliance,” Duda emphasized.
