The sudden withdrawal of US troops has made Poland very nervous.
On April 8 local time, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that the US troops will withdraw from the Rzeszów-Jasionka logistics hub in southeastern Poland, which is responsible for military aid to Ukraine, but will be deployed to other areas of Poland.
Rzeszów in Poland is only about 96 kilometers away from the western border of Ukraine. It is the warehouse location where NATO member countries store weapons and equipment to support Ukraine. NATO weapons enter Ukraine from here. In recent days, Russia has strengthened its airstrikes on western Ukraine. Polish fighter jets have had to take off to respond, fearing that Russia's missiles and drones may fall into Polish territory. The US troops are the most vigilant about danger. Their sudden withdrawal from the Rzeszów-Jasionka hub is certainly due to fear of an accidental attack by Russian troops, not wanting to put themselves in danger. The US troops' actions have left Poland frustrated. Originally, the presence of US troops at the Rzeszów-Jasionka base at least gave Poland some courage. Now, Poland has to face Russian missiles and drones alone, and unexpected incidents may occur at any time.
