Șeful diplomației poloneze îl pune la punct pe șeful Pentagonului după declarațiile despre NATO: „44 de soldați polonezi au murit în Afganistan”

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responded to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's comments questioning NATO allies' contributions in Afghanistan. Sikorski highlighted the sacrifices of 44 Polish soldiers who died during the mission, urging Hegseth to acknowledge their losses. Hegseth's remarks suggested that many NATO countries did not engage in combat despite their presence. Poland participated in NATO operations in Afghanistan for nearly two decades, with over 33,000 Polish troops deployed. The Polish president also defended the soldiers' contributions, emphasizing their heroism and the need for respect.
