https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/7e2fec72-9e68-42bd-a053-75daf9dce1d9 Poland and Germany will sign a new defense agreement on Wednesday, marking the 35th anniversary of the historic Treaty of Good Neighbourship and Friendly Cooperation. It is one of several treaties Warsaw signed in recent months. What has pushed the Polish government to unleash this diplomatic offensive? “The guarantees of the NATO alliance are not as solid as they were two years ago. And that’s why a frontline country like Poland needs to look for alternative sources of security,” Maciej Kisilowski, Associate Professor of Law and Strategy at the Central European University, told TVP World, citing treaties that have already been signed with France and the U.K. “There is talk of another agreement with Italy. All of these are basically… call it a ‘Plan B’ for Poland in case NATO falters. However (...) improbable it sounds, it is something that needs to be taken seriously in view of (...) the statements of the President of the United States.” Join host Ashim Kumar and his guest as they discuss why Poland and Germany are signing an agreement rather than a treaty and how support for closer defense ties with Poland is split along political lines in Germany. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
