The U.S. and Poland inaugurate a NATO missile defense base in Poland, amid tensions with Russia.

The U.S. and Poland have inaugurated a NATO missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland, designed to detect and intercept short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Originally planned under President Bush to protect Europe from Iranian threats, Poland sees the base as protection against Russian aggression. The Kremlin has protested, pledging to take measures to ensure parity. This move comes amid tensions due to the war in Ukraine.
