Russia will take necessary measures to ensure its security if Poland deploys nuclear weapons, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, reported Xinhua.
Polish President Andrzej Duda said earlier that Poland is ready to host U.S. nuclear weapons in the country, according to media reports.
Peskov said the Russian military would analyze the situation if such an action were implemented. "I think, in any case, they will take all the necessary response steps to guarantee our security."
Under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's nuclear sharing scheme, the United States is authorized to station its nuclear armaments within the territories of member states that do not possess them.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in October 2023 that Russia would be forced to resort to "compensatory measures" in response to the U.S. deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe.
