**NATO member Poland should eventually get nuclear weapons as a security measure, a top Polish general has said.**

Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Warsaw has been a key supporter of Kyiv and has warned of the danger posed by the Kremlin, which has made repeated nuclear threats.

Without mentioning Russia by name, **Brigadier General Jaroslaw Kraszewski told Polish media outlet RMF FM that if Poland had nuclear weapons it would deter aggression from abroad because nuclear powers enjoy a high degree of security.**

***“I consider it a challenge of several years to have such an arsenal,” said Kraszewski, according to a translation. “I hope it will come to that.”***

***“I think this scenario is very realistic,”*** he added.

**Some relevant background**
