The United States Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) announced the planned relocation of US military personnel and equipment from Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland to other locations within the country. This move is part of a broader strategy to optimize US military operations, enhance support to allies, and improve efficiency, CE Report quotes PAP

Jasionka has been a key logistics hub for Western aid to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022, with US Patriot missile defense systems protecting the site. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that the move had been previously planned and coordinated, emphasizing that the relocation does not reduce US military presence in Poland or Europe.

Additionally, NATO's new initiative, NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), has begun overseeing the coordination of aid to Ukraine. Launched by former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the 2024 Washington summit, NSATU takes over some logistical duties from the US, ensuring continued support for Ukraine amidst shifting geopolitical circumstances.
