News NATO takes over control of Poland's air defenses from US, a major step in supporting Ukraine – CNN by alex 10.01.2025 written by alex 10.01.2025 24 NATO has taken over control of Poland's air defense from the US, an important step in supporting Ukraine, says CNN's Sergei Popovich A few days before the inauguration of newly elected US President Donald Trump, NATO took over control of air defense in Poland from the US military. The move raises questions about the Trump administration's future strategy toward NATO and Ukraine. According to NATO spokesman Colonel Martin O'Donnell, command was transferred on Thursday. This was reported by 24 Kanal, citing CNN. What could such a decision indicate? NATO has taken over control of air defenses in Poland from the United States, giving the alliance the ability to protect key logistics hubs in Poland that are critical to the delivery of military aid to Ukraine. The change is part of a longer-term effort to shift responsibility for supporting Ukraine from the United States to European allies amid uncertainty about future US policy. Allies are bracing for a possible reduction in US support for Ukraine next year. Donald Trump has repeatedly questioned the importance of aid to Ukraine and the US role in NATO. While he has pledged to stop the war, it is unclear whether his administration will continue to provide military support to Kyiv. Amid this uncertainty, the Biden administration is working to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield and ensure it has a strong negotiating position. In particular, the US announced a new $500 million aid package. NATO is also gradually taking over functions from the US-led Security Assistance Group-Ukraine (SAG-U), which coordinated the supply of weapons and equipment to Kyiv. The last meeting of the US-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) was held by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at Ramstein Air Base. He called on allies to continue supporting Ukraine. The coalition in support of Ukraine must not tremble. It must not falter. And it must not fail, Austin noted. Recall that Zelensky said that as a result of Ramstein, Ukraine will receive new “very serious air defense systems”. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail alex previous post Zelensky reported how Britain responded to the initiative to send an international contingent to Ukraine next post The first 10 Lynx IFV armored personnel carriers have arrived in Ukraine: what is known You may also like These were camouflaged military facilities, says TsPD on... 10.01.2025 Russia's economy overheated by military spending and on... 10.01.2025 Drones Attack Rostov Region: Local Plant Probably Hit 10.01.2025 The first 10 Lynx IFV armored personnel carriers... 10.01.2025 Tragedy near Chernigov: grandfather and 7-year-old grandson fell... 10.01.2025 Why Trump Needs Greenland: Financial Times Explains 10.01.2025 17-year-old boys who fail to register for military... 10.01.2025 Explosions thundered in Voronezh: Russians say air defense... 09.01.2025 Primitive and vulnerable to electronic warfare: what is... 09.01.2025 Trump has already “moved on”: how close is... 09.01.2025 Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
