Britain and Poland are preparing to sign a sweeping new defense and security agreement against growing threats from Russia, writes Reuters.
The document is to be signed by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and British Prime Minister Kir Starmer during a meeting in London.
The British government said the agreement will be aimed at countering modern threats, particularly Russia's aggressive actions.
It is about strengthening border protection, fighting organized crime and expanding defense cooperation between the countries.
The parties will pay special attention to the development of air and missile defense systems.
London and Warsaw also plan to combine industrial and technological potential to create a new generation of weapons.
One of the key areas of the agreement will be cybersecurity.
Poland considers itself one of the main targets of Russian cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and spying activities.
Kir Starmer called the future agreement with Poland "the most significant step in defense relations between the two countries in a generation."
