Why is Poland so vital?
Poland shares a long border with Ukraine, making it a crucial logistical gateway for aid. Its Rzeszów-Jasionka airport has become the primary hub for channelling military equipment into Ukraine, handling 18,000 tonnes monthly. This strategic location and infrastructure are why NATO members like Sweden are committed to its defence.
