Poland’s president said on Tuesday his NATO country bordering Russia received assurance that the United States was not planning to reduce its troop presence in the region, following talks with the US special Ukraine envoy.

“We have been assured… there is absolutely no American intention to reduce activity here in our part of Europe, especially in the area of security; to reduce the number of American troops,” Andrzej Duda told reporters.
