Poland's President Karol Nawrocki, in an interview with the French television channel LCI, advocated for Warsaw's participation in a program for the joint deployment of nuclear weapons. In response to a question about the possibility of placing French nuclear weapons on Polish territory, he emphasized that the security of the state is his priority.
