Recently, in the north of Poland, in the village of Redzikovo, the US Aegis Ashore missile defense base was opened. To which the Russian Federation threatened Warsaw with “potential damage”.
“Such threats should be taken seriously, and we do. As reckless and irresponsible as they are, we take them seriously,” Kirby said.
At the same time, he added that “US President Joe Biden is adamant and that the US will do everything possible to make sure that US troops on the European continent are safe.”
“And, just as importantly, we take our Article 5 obligations to our NATO allies very seriously. It’s adamant and it’s not going to change,” Kirby emphasized.
