Ukraine war: How Poland is increasing defence capability on Ukraine's doorstep

Sky's military analyst air vice-marshal Sean Bell explains how Poland is leading the conversation on sending aid to Ukraine.

The country is seeking to increase its military capability in line with NATO and US expectations, with Ukraine and Russia on their doorstep.

In the face of ongoing Russian aggression and the war in Ukraine, Poland has been increasing its defense capabilities on Ukraine's doorstep. In this video, we explore the measures Poland has taken to strengthen its military presence in the region.

First, we'll discuss Poland's decision to increase its defense spending, which has grown significantly in recent years. This includes the procurement of new equipment, such as helicopters, tanks, and missile defense systems, as well as upgrades to existing assets.

Next, we'll look at the deployment of NATO forces to Poland, which has served as a key deterrent against Russian aggression. Poland hosts rotating battlegroups from NATO allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, which provide a visible military presence and enhance regional security.
