France and Poland will conduct joint military exercises in the Baltic Sea and northern Poland, including the use of French nuclear weapons against targets in Russia and Belarus.

France and Poland intend to organize joint military exercises on NATO's eastern flank, conducted over the Baltic Sea and in northern Poland. The maneuvers will include the use of French nuclear weapons against targets in Russia and Belarus, particularly in the Saint Petersburg area.

The Polish Air Force will carry out reconnaissance missions and will launch simulated strikes with JASSM-ER cruise missiles from F-16 aircraft. French Dassault Rafale aircraft, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, will practice nuclear deterrence without permanently stationing nuclear warheads on Polish territory. The exercises are part of a revised nuclear strategy announced by President Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized the extension of the nuclear umbrella over several European countries. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed negotiations with France for an advanced nuclear deterrence program, highlighting the importance of a firm response to threats.
