I couldn’t leave Poland without visiting some of the troops at Powidz Air Base. I can think of no better example of the strength of our partnership than seeing American and Polish soldiers and airmen working together, standing shoulder to shoulder. pic.twitter.com/GunrgtqyFq

It was a pleasure to meet with Polish President @AndrzejDuda this morning to discuss our mutual concerns about the situation in Ukraine. Poland remains one of our closest security partners and a key Ally for NATO’s deterrence and defense. #WeAreNATO pic.twitter.com/N6o48zAXSm

I just spoke with Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu. During our call, I called for deescalation, the return of Russian forces surrounding Ukraine to their home bases, and a diplomatic resolution. https://t.co/PwEKZ9s6kN
