In 2022, then US President Joe Biden visited American forces stationed there the United States Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) said that it was “announc[ing] the planned repositioning of US military equipment and personnel from Jasionka “The decision…reflects months of assessment and planning coordinated closely with Polish hosts and NATO allies” and is “part of a broader strategy to optimize US military operations improving the level of support to allies and partners while also enhancing efficiencies” Three more weeks to save @notesfrompoland We're so grateful for our readers' generous support so far – over 150 donations in the first week of our campaign Every single one is making a difference, but we still need your help.

Last year, the US also opened a missile defence base in Poland There are currently around 10,000 American military personnel stationed in the country this is an opportunity to right-size our footprint and save American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars per year,” added Donahue on Monday The US had opened a missile defence base in Poland its first permanent military installation in the country This shows “the whole world clearly that this is no longer a Russian zone of influence”, declared Polish President @AndrzejDuda https://t.co/g1PUS4d8yE — Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 (@notesfrompoland) November 13, 2024 Daniel Lawton, the US chargé d’affaires in Poland, who is heading the embassy until the appointment of a new ambassador said on Monday that his country is “deeply grateful to the city and people of Jasionka for warmly welcoming American personnel and high-level visitors over the past three years” “Your support has exemplified the close ties between our nations and enhanced the strength of our US-Poland partnership,” he added this transition allows us to sustain our close cooperation while using resources more efficiently.” Much of Poland’s unprecedented military spending has gone on US equipment and related services. Last week, the two governments signed an agreement worth almost $2 billion that will see the US provide logistical support and training for Poland’s own Patriot air defence systems Poland has signed a $2bn deal for the US to provide logistical support for the Patriot systems protecting Polish skies "Let Poland be an example that loyalty to allies and investment in security is the foundation of Western civilisation," said @donaldtusk https://t.co/sOCgT4YarU — Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 (@notesfrompoland) April 1, 2025 Main image credit: USAREUR-AF Daniel Tilles is editor-in-chief of Notes from Poland He has written on Polish affairs for a wide range of publications , , The proportion of Poles saying the US has a positive influence on the world has also fallen to its lowest recorded level , , Poland has recorded the strongest rise in consumer sentiment across the EU this year , , , The stunt has also been criticised by Ukraine’s ambassador to Poland as well as politicians from Poland’s main ruling party Apr 30, 2025 | , , , That response will include “large Polish and NATO exercises in Poland” Apr 29, 2025 | , , , Those employed in Poland work on average the third-longest hours in the European Union Apr 28, 2025 | , , , , Westinghouse and Bechtel were first chosen in 2022 as partners on the 192 billion zloty ($51 billion) project please consider helping us to continue and expand it [email protected] Copyright © 2025 Notes From Poland | Design jurko studio | Code by 2sides.pl Senior Research Fellow at the Global Europe Centre ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Weronika Strzyżyńska is currently studying journalism at Goldsmiths as a Scott Trust Bursary recipient She  has written on issues immigration and Brexit for New Statesman and Prospect Agnieszka Wądołowska is managing editor of Notes from Poland She has previously worked for Gazeta.pl and Tokfm.pl and contributed to Gazeta Wyborcza ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Daniel Tilles is editor-in-chief of Notes from Poland and assistant professor of history at the Pedagogical University of Krakow The Independent and Dziennik Gazeta Prawna ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Stanley Bill is the founder and editor-at-large of Notes from Poland.He is also Senior Lecturer in Polish Studies and Director of the Polish Studies Programme at the University of Cambridge Stanley has spent more than ten years living in Poland He founded Notes from Poland in 2014 as a blog dedicated to personal impressions cultural analysis and political commentary He is committed to the promotion of deeper knowledge and understanding of Poland He is the Chair of the Board of the Notes from Poland Foundation ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Professor of European Studies at Oxford University ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Professor at the Institute of History of the Jagiellonian University ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Executive Director of Taube Family Foundation ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Associate Professor at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Science ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR withdrawal from Rzeszów signals not just a shift in logistics but a broader retreat from its role as Ukraine’s primary arsenal It was situated within 50 km of the Ukrainian border and it had a runway long enough to land American C-17 Globemaster III aircraft Rzeszów acquired significance beyond its aspirations a funnel for shipping billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the Kiev regime Now the United States, in an effort to cut costs, is withdrawing its forces from Rzeszów. At the beginning of April, there were reports of a flurry of C-17s landing at the Polish airstrip, but these have now tapered off. Presumably, European aid arrives by rail.

Polish President Andrzej Duda responded to the announcement by assuring that the move does not signify a U.S "I don't know if this is being implemented at this point. The very issue of taking responsibility for the security issues of the Rzeszow airport, its security, I know," Duda said during a press conference in Tallinn The U.S. military has operated in Jasionka, near Rzeszow, since early 2022. The airport quickly became one of the most important logistical points for coordinating Western support to Ukraine protected by American Patriot air defense systems Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport is located less than 50 miles (80 kilometers) from the Ukrainian border and transports a significant percentage of Western materiel bound for the front lines It is also a main stopover point for foreign leadership traveling to Kyiv on official visits In March 2023, Warsaw detained at least 16 members of a Russian spy ring tasked with gathering information on the number of transports to Ukraine in the region surrounding the airport The redeployment comes amid growing concerns in Europe over a potential drawdown of U.S. forces.

JASIONKA, Poland — The U.S. military formally transferred its Patriot missile defense mission in Poland to German forces Monday, marking the first such handover to happen in Europe, officials said. The Army’s 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, the only U.S. Patriot missile battalion based in Europe, deployed to Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. On Monday, battalion commander Lt. Col. Daniel Corbett played down speculation that the decision to remove his unit from the mission was driven by European leaders’ fears over future U.S. commitment. “The biggest catalyst for this is that we were redirected to a modernization effort by the chief of staff of the Army,” Corbett said after the transfer of authority to Germany’s Surface to Air Missile Group 21. Corbett was referring to plans for the unit to become the first operational U.S. Patriot battalion to field the Army’s new Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System. The battalion is scheduled to get the system in the coming months, and there had been concerns over how it would do so while simultaneously carrying out the mission in Poland. Monday’s ceremony marked the first time that a U.S.-led Patriot mission in Europe was turned into a NATO mission, Corbett said. German troops arrived at the Patriot sites two weeks ago. Soldiers with Charlie Battery, one of the battalion’s last two batteries at the airport, said that the process was easier than expected and that the Germans started operating their Patriot systems a little over a week ago, days ahead of schedule. The soldiers described an abrupt end to their mission, saying that they had found out about the takeover sometime in November, and that the battalion’s units in Baumholder were already preparing to deploy. “Leadership came out to the site, rounded up everyone and were like ‘the Germans are coming,’ ” Charlie Battery’s Sgt. Marcus DeLord said. “And we were like, ‘yes, please.’ ” DeLord said the mission was rewarding but grueling for the unit. The high tempo was especially hard on soldiers with family back at Baumholder. Charlie Battery commander Capt. Marco Aveledo said the Poland mission took precedence over everything else. The unit hasn’t been able to take part in any training events in Europe, for example. However, Aveledo said the experience the air defenders got in Poland was unmatched. “We’ve had the opportunity to work with NATO, not in a superficial way but by actually integrating with them,” Aveledo said. Aveledo’s battery removed the final missiles from their launchers Sunday and prepared them to be sent back to Germany overland. The soldiers are expected to drive back to Baumholder on Friday. Several of the battery’s soldiers said they had postponed their redeployments to the U.S. to support the Poland mission because they thought it was important. “It’s good to come out here and be part of something and feel like you’re doing something to protect others and contribute to something that is bigger than yourself,” said fueler Sgt. Kwadasia Grant, one of the soldiers who pushed back her deployment. The Patriot is a long-range surface-to-air missile defense system used to shoot down threats such as enemy aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. The system operates with its own dedicated radar and command-and-control setup, meaning each unit functions independently with limited coordination. In contrast, the IBCS links multiple sensors and missile platforms across the battlefield, providing a unified air defense network. Army officials say the upgrade will allow the unit to integrate with other air defense assets, such as THAAD and Aegis, improving threat detection, tracking and engagement flexibility. Charlie Battery’s 1st Lt. Mackenzie Arns said most of the unit felt proud of the work. And stepping away from the eastern flank didn’t feel like stepping away from the bigger picture, according to Arns. “Our mission isn’t done; we are still the only U.S. Patriot asset in Europe,” Arns said. “We’re just going back to focus on something else until they need us again.” indispensable guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington follow the latest on tariffs and executive orders Stay on top of the latest events in US politics with the FT’s trusted and impartial coverage Insight and analysis on US politics from commentators such as Ed Luce and James Politi This subscription does not include access to ft.com or the FT App Essential digital access to quality FT journalism on any device Complete digital access to quality FT journalism with expert analysis from industry leaders Terms & Conditions apply Discover all the plans currently available in your country See why over a million readers pay to read the Financial Times It was noted that the decision regarding the relocation of troops and equipment was made after several months of assessment and planning in close cooperation with NATO partners It was also mentioned that the operation of this important transport hub will continue under the leadership of Poland and other NATO countries The American units that were previously stationed near Rzeszów have been relocated to other U.S 5th Army Corps headquarters has been deployed in Poznań in western Poland reported that the airfield near Rzeszów is currently mainly occupied by Norwegian and the facility will continue to function He also reminded that the decision to transfer responsibility for the operation of the hub in Rzeszów to NATO had been announced back in July 2024 This likely refers to the creation of a separate command for NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) with its headquarters in Wiesbaden The aim of NSATU is to unite in one headquarters the management and organization processes for supplying weapons to Ukraine It oversees not only the Jasionka airfield near Rzeszów but also all other logistical centers on NATO’s eastern flank either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content Poland has placed Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) near the Ukrainian border, amid Russian threats toward the country On Thursday, the General Staff of Poland's Armed Forces announced that NASAMS had been stationed near the logistics center in Rzeszów, a city around 40 miles from Ukraine The country also received several F-35 stealth fighter jets which the General Staff said will "support the defense of Polish airspace." The ground-based NASAMS are currently used by 13 countries according to Norwegian defense firm Kongsberg Ukraine has so far received at least 13 NASAMS with a further four promised by Norway and Lithuania This transfer was previously announced by the Norwegian Ministry of Defense in early December which committed to "assum[ing] air defense responsibility for the most important hub for the transport of both civilian and military material from other countries to Ukraine." Some 100 Norwegian soldiers will also be stationed at Rzeszów until Easter in order to safeguard the transfer of supplies to Ukraine Newsweek has contacted the Polish Ministry of Defense via email for further comment on the NASAMS delivery Rzeszów is a key passageway for Western assistance into Ukraine but the provision of Norwegian air defenses also comes amid fears that Poland could soon be targeted by Russia for its role in the conflict In November, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that a newly opened U.S. air base in Redzikowo had become one of the "priority targets for potential neutralization." As quoted by Russian news agency Tass Zakharova said that the destruction of the facility could be carried out "using a wide range of advanced weaponry." On November 21, the Polish military said that it had "activated all available forces and resources," including fighter jets and air-defense systems, in response to a Russian attack near the border in Western Ukraine Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that there were significant fears that the country could soon be targeted by Moscow warning that "Polish F-16s are ready to act if a missile threatens our territory." "The threat from Russia is realistic," Kosiniak-Kamysz continued "The citizens of Ukraine are experiencing it every day." Wojciech Lorenz is head of the International Security Programme at The Polish Institute of International Affairs and spoke to Newsweek about Polish attempts to counter these threats "Poland is strengthening its potential rapidly because there is a real risk of direct Russian attack on NATO in a couple of years time," Lorenz said citing America's increasing focus on the Indo-Pacific as a potential catalyst for further expansionism by Moscow Lorenz warned that the frontiers of the conflict would then shift to Poland and that Russia may be emboldened to confront NATO states directly "While some countries and politicians still prefer to believe that [a] Russian attack on NATO is not realistic Poland is taking such [a] risk extremely seriously," he added Poland is not the only Eastern European state fortifying its defenses in anticipation of future threats from Russia European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently announced that the European Union would be providing €170 million (approximately $180 million) in funds to six countries to help them counter "hybrid threats" posed by Russia and Belarus "Finland, alongside [Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Norway], is bravely keeping our borders safe from threats of all forms coming from Russia and Belarus," von der Leyen wrote on X Estonia re-opened the Ämari Air Base following renovation work which NATO celebrated as a "enabl[ing] NATO and the Allies to continue ensuring collective security in the Baltic Sea region." on December 2: "Russia's invasion of Ukraine have demonstrated the value of air defense and the Norwegian contribution in Poland is highly appreciated We are doing this primarily for Ukraine and Poland but it also shows that we stand by our commitments within NATO."

editors delivered to your inbox daily This is meant to symbolize the reduction of American military aid to Kiev not function as the first step towards a complete withdrawal from Poland or Central & Eastern Europe as a whole the bulk will be pulled from Poland and Romania the two largest countries on NATO’s eastern flank Putin requested in late 2021 that the US remove its forces from CEE so as to restore Washington’s compliance with the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act whose many violations worsened the Russian-US security dilemma Trump appears open to at least partial compliance with Putin’s request which could become one among several pragmatic mutual compromises that they’re negotiating to normalize ties and end the proxy war so some could hypothetically be cut but still leave with Poland more than before 2022 The outcome of next month’s presidential election will play a huge role in determining Polish policy in this regard and could be influenced by perceptions (accurate or not) of America abandoning Poland This could be sufficient for counteracting the liberals’ possible plans to pivot towards France at the expense of the US’ influence or maintaining the US’ predominant position in Poland if a liberal President works with his like-minded Prime Minister to rely on France for balancing the US a bit Even if the Trump Administration fumbles this opportunity due to a lack of vision or a fully liberal government in Poland picks fights with the US for ideological reasons the US isn’t expected to completely dump Poland the most radical scenario of a full-blown liberal-led Polish pivot towards France would be limited by the impracticality of replacing American military wares with French ones anytime soon with the furthest that this might go being the hosting of nuclear-equipped Rafale fighters Poland could also invite some French troops into the country ask US forces to leave since it wants to preserve their tripwire potential With the interplay of these interests in mind it can be concluded that the US’ withdrawal from Poland’s Rzeszow logistics facility for Ukraine is meant to symbolize the reduction of American military aid to Kiev not function as the first step towards a complete withdrawal from Poland or CEE as a whole While some regional US troop reductions are possible as one among several pragmatic compromises that Trump might agree to

once the points from the required dives carried over It wasn’t until the second of her three dives where she made her move – scoring 58.80 on her Reverse 2 ½ Somersaults Tuck (305C) to put her just five points behind eventual silver medallist It was on the final round where the pecking order started to truly change with Berger opting for the dive with the lower degree of difficulty to score 59.40 on her Inward 2 ½ Somersaults Tuck (405C) they switched positions with the tightest of margins as Berger finished on 353.85 to the Ukrainian’s 353.15 The bronze medal was also decided on the

Ukraine and Italy went toe-to-toe over five rounds of dives – in the end being separated by just eight points The first two rounds of required dives went without a hitch for both pairs before Italy struck first with a stunning Back 2 ½ Somersaults 1 ½ Twists Pike (5253B) to take the lead after the third round Despite scoring two more 70+ dives in the final two rounds it was the Ukrainian pairing of Danylo Avanesov and Marko Barsukov who managed to get their hands on the gold thanks to a score of 76.80 on their Inward 3 ½ Somersaults Tuck (407C) before a similar score of 75.84 gave them a

Fisher-Eames and Robbie Wood The final event of the night saw a dominant performance from Ukraine’s Alisa Mieshkova and Diana Shevchenko who led right the way through the five rounds of dives on their way to gold Although not putting in any significantly higher-scoring dives than their competitors they did still manage a general trend through the rounds with their highest score of 55.68 coming from their Forward 2 ½ Somersaults 1 Twist Pike (5152B) on the final round Great Britain’s Libby Duke and Kate Gardener continued to add to the country’s tally with a respectable silver medal on 241.35 also by putting in three dives over 50 points Germany’s Jule Leonie Eisenberg and Charlotte Lederer did enough to ensure they were on the podium for all but one event on the night thanks in the most part to a huge score of 57.12 in the third round for their Inward 2 ½ Somersaults Pike (405B) The fourth day of competition at the European Junior Diving Championships 2024 saw six nations feature on the podium across three exhilarating events at the Rzeszów Diving Arena Following on from what have already been three days of incredible action as well as a jam-packed prelims session on Thursday

finished in fifth place in the event at last year’s edition the 2009-born athlete looked determined in her pursuit of the gold that would eventually come her way and was the only athlete in the field to achieve scores of 50 or more in all three of her final dives Her Forward 2 ½ Somersaults Pike (105B) was the pick of the dives scoring her 54.60 in the penultimate round before she maintained her dominance to finish on the top step of the podium with a huge score of 347.10 The battle for the other medals was a much more tense affair Diadiuk fell as low as fourth at some points in the final three dives with Bulgaria’s Iva Ereminova and Germany’s Nina Berger going dive-for-dive with each other through the rounds Diadiuk put in the highest-scoring dive of the group to leapfrog Ereminova into the silver medal position as her Forward 2 ½ Somersaults Pike (105B) proved most fruitful for her with a score of 50.70 points adding to what has already been a great competition for the Eastern European nation with Berger agonisingly missing out in fourth The Boys B Platform final saw a similar level of dominance with Great Britain’s Robbie Wood putting in two 70+ scores on his way to the gold medal The emerging athlete was in first place right the way through the four-round final with some memorable dives on the way to glory There was no argument as to the best dive of his list with his Reverse 2 ½ Somersaults Tuck (305C) wowed both the judges and the crowd to score him a huge 75.60 and help him on his way to a total of 436.20 Italy’s silver medallist Davide Barberi didn’t have it all his own way in his pursuit for the podium as he was engaged in a fierce battle with Switzerland’s Erik Passerone and Ukraine’s Valerii Malieiev right the way through to the final dives Barberi showed his class when it came to the business-end of the competition to claim the runner-up position thanks to a stunning Back 3 ½ Somersaults Tuck (307C) which scored him 70.95 and saw him just shy of breaking the 400-point barrier on 399.15 with Malieiev just missing out on the medals in fourth on 393.75 The final event of the night provided a tighter competition for the gold as Italy’s Valerio Mosca and Matteo Santoro went head-to-head with Ukraine’s Kyrylo Azarov and Maksym Mirza over the five rounds of dives The two required rounds of dives went without a hitch for most of the 10 teams before the Italians made a move on round three executing a solid Forward 2 ½ Somersaults 1 Twist Pike (5152B) to give them a comfortable lead with two rounds to go It was the Ukrainian pairing that managed the highest-scoring dive of the event to close the gap on the penultimate round with their Forward 2 ½ Somersaults 2 Twists Pike (5154B) earning a huge 78.54 points and putting them within six points of the gold ahead of the final round It was Santoro and Mosca who held their nerve under pressure to seal a second gold medal of the competition for the country as their Forward 3 1/2 Somersaults Pike (107B) saw them come out on top with a score of 75.33 to Ukraine’s 72.54 The final scores were 320.43 to Italy with Ukraine’s 311.88 good enough for silver Croatia took their first
