Germany, NATO prepared to support Poland in defending eastern flank - defmin

Germany and NATO are prepared to support Poland in defending its eastern flank, German defence minister Boris Pistorius said in Prague on Friday.

"Where the Polish partners need support, they will receive it," Pistorius said at a press conference with his Czech counterpart in Prague. "They are NATO partners and reliable NATO allies, so we can confidently say that we are prepared."

The comment comes after Poland's security committee decided to move military units to the country's east due to the Wagner Group's presence in Belarus, according to a report by Poland's state-run news agency PAP.
