Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz (R) and Germany's Defence Minister Boris Pistorius pose as they exchange documents after signing a defence agreement between Poland and Germany at the Defence Ministry in Warsaw, Poland, on June 17, 2026. After signing defence pacts with France and UK, Warsaw signed an agreement with Germany on June 17 -- but its sweep was trimmed fearing right-wing opposition and the prospect of a presidential veto. Poland -- the only NATO member to border both Russia and Ukraine -- has sought to bolster its defence in more than four years of Moscow's invasion next door. The agreements were signed on the 35th anniversary of the 1991 Treaty of Good Neighbourship, which set up security, economic, and cultural cooperation between the two countries.
