The United States is expected to decide in December whether to establish its first permanent military base in Poland, Polish Deputy Defense Minister Stanisław Wziątek said on October 30. A Pentagon posture review is nearing completion, though an announcement could extend into early next year. General Dariusz Łukowski, former head of Poland's National Security Bureau, estimated the project would cost 3 billion zloty plus several billion more in infrastructure, according to Kyiv Post.
