UK, Poland to Sign New Security Treaty in London
The deal will expand border security, cybersecurity and joint weapons development as Europe faces rising hybrid attacks and pressure to spend more on defense.
- On Wednesday, Britain will sign a new defence and security treaty with Poland in London, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk meeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to formalize the agreement strengthening defence cooperation amid hostile threats across Europe.
- U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has pressured Europe to strengthen its own defence capabilities, while Poland faces Russian espionage, cyberattacks and disinformation due to its role as a hub for military aid to Ukraine.
- The treaty will combine British and Polish expertise to develop complex weapons including sophisticated munitions and medium-range air defence missiles, with cybersecurity forming a significant component alongside addressing hybrid attacks including Russian-ordered arson attacks in East London.
- Starmer called the agreement 'the biggest step forward in our defence and security relationship with Poland in a generation,' emphasizing that 'the challenges Europe now faces demands an even stronger partnership.'
- Poland's treaty with Britain follows similar defence agreements with France in 2025 and ongoing negotiations with Germany, reinforcing Europe's collective defence posture by improving border security, combating organised crime and deepening European Union cooperation.
