With its border with Russia and Ukraine, Poland feels increasingly vulnerable to a potential attack. While Poland's President Andrzej Duda insists that Poland will not intervene directly in the conflict, the country is preparing its troops for the possibility of conflict spilling over its borders. This article explores Poland's precarious position between Russia and Ukraine and how this impacts NATO's unity and stability.

Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Poland has been anxious about being the next target. Located on Poland's border, the conflict is bringing Poland closer to the forefront. Poland's President, Andrzej Duda, recently acknowledged this concern, stating that Poland's defense is directly connected to Ukraine's defense.

If Ukraine falls to Russia, Poland fears that it will be next. This anxiety is not merely speculative. Russia has already tested Poland's borders with its February 2022 escalation on the Poland-Belarus border.

Moreover, Russia's recent missile attack on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure near the Polish border further underscores Poland's vulnerability in the event of a Ukrainian collapse.

Warsaw's concern is that if Ukraine is subjugated by Russia, Poland may well be next in line for Russian aggression. Poland's leadership continues to voice its commitment to supporting Ukraine and deterring Russian aggression.

This anxiety underscores Poland's precarious position between Russia and Ukraine and raises concerns about NATO's ability to maintain unity and stability in the face of potential further aggression.
