MOSCOW, September 4. /TASS/. Poland is willing to station more US troops on its territory, the republic’s defense chief, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, told reporters.

"We are ready to accommodate more [American] troops. And we declare that we are fully prepared for their [US] increased deployments in Poland," the Polish defense minister said at a news briefing streamed by TVP Info television.
