Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK And Poland To Sign Defence Treaty Focused On Russia Threat

Caption: UK And Poland To Sign Defence Treaty Focused On Russia Threat. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland wants the closest possible ties with the UK through a new defence and security treaty focused on countering Russia. United Kingdom and Poland are set to sign the agreement in London to strengthen military and security cooperation. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Europe’s growing security challenges required “an even stronger partnership” between the two allies. Tusk said both governments view Russia as a long-term strategic threat to Poland, Britain and NATO. The treaty will also focus heavily on cybersecurity as Poland faces increased cyberattacks, espionage and disinformation campaigns. Polish officials say the country has become a major target because of its role as a logistical hub for military aid to Ukraine. The agreement follows similar UK defence partnerships signed recently with France and Germany. The push for closer European defence cooperation comes amid pressure from President Donald Trump for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security.
