According to him, the situation is complicated by the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. “Of course, nuclear weapons in Poland will be an aggravating factor rather than something that will ensure this security.

Earlier, Sokolov suggested that the new German government is unlikely to abandon the deployment of US nuclear weapons on its territory. According to him, none of the forces that will form the new Cabinet has the desire and ability to raise such a complex issue as the transfer of American nuclear weapons.

In response, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that such a move was a gross disregard for the agreements between Russia and NATO, since the alliance had pledged not to deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of the new members.
