27.10.2025

During his meeting with representatives of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly's Defence and Security Committee, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski outlined the prospects and challenges of countries in the immediate vicinity of an armed conflict. Poland's top diplomat stressed the role of MPs in shaping a common perception of threats in all member states of NATO and the EU.

Minister Sikorski also highlighted how important Polish diplomacy is in devising a joint policy towards threats in these member states. He emphasised that countries in the immediate vicinity of an armed conflict face particular challenges which should be taken into account while debating the security of the Alliance as a whole.

A group of nearly 30 members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly visited Poland on 27-29 October. The aim was to get to know security challenges in the region and NATO's support mechanisms dedicated to its eastern flank.

During the meeting, which took place on 27 October at the Sejm, Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski assessed the current security situation in Poland's vicinity, detailing priorities in foreign policy and national security which result from that. In this context, he explained that our approach, determined mainly by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is three-fold: to strengthen collective defence and deterrence within NATO; to support Ukraine; and to exert pressure on Russia in order to make the war end.

Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski underlined Poland's determination in supporting Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression and reiterated that Poland's eastern border is also the one of the EU and NATO.
