Poland’s Defense Ministry confirmed that operations at the logistics hub in Jasionka remain fully operational, with no disruptions to ongoing missions. The ministry clarified that the redistribution of responsibilities among NATO partners reflects prior decisions from last year’s NATO summit in Washington, where the alliance established a new command structure—NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine—to bolster support for Kyiv.
“The previous functions carried out at Jasionka are now being handled by other allied forces,” the ministry stated. “All activities at the logistics hub continue without interruption, and the flow of military support is proceeding smoothly in line with established protocols.”
While former U.S. President Donald Trump has frequently criticized NATO members for not meeting defense spending targets, Poland has stood out as a notable exception. The country currently dedicates 4.7 percent of its gross domestic product to defense—the highest proportion in the alliance—earning it consistent praise from Trump and other U.S. officials.
Despite increasing concerns over Trump’s perceived overtures to Russia, his calls for Ukraine to negotiate a peace deal with Moscow, and the sweeping trade restrictions he imposed last week affecting many NATO allies, Polish leaders continue to emphasize the strong and strategic nature of their relationship with the United States. This sentiment is reciprocated by American officials.
“Your support has exemplified the close ties between our nations and enhanced the strength of our U.S.-Poland partnership. As we adapt to evolving needs, this transition allows us to sustain our close cooperation while using resources more efficiently,” said Daniel Lawton, chargé d’affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw.
