柏林专电 美国总统特朗普周四在社交媒体发文称，美国在波兰建立永久性陆军基地的计划已取得“重大进展”。
“如果计划推进，选址很快就会公布，”特朗普在其“真相社交”平台的帖子中说道，白宫已将该帖转发至X平台。他表示，新基地将是美波同盟的“历史性一步”。
随着外界对俄罗斯持续对乌克兰发动全面战争可能蔓延至北约领土的担忧加剧，波兰政府大概率会对这一表态表示欢迎。
俄乌战争蔓延存在“真实风险”？
在特朗普发帖数小时前，波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克在波兰议会发表讲话，称“无人机或其他类型弹药有可能飞入北约东翼一个或多个国家境内，甚至造成破坏，这是真实存在的风险”。
图斯克援引未指明来源的情报称，俄罗斯可能会将此类事件——目前已有多起类似案例——即使是蓄意发动的，归咎为意外事故，以此削弱北约联合应对的意愿。
图斯克还提及俄罗斯用于打击乌克兰的新一代喷气动力攻击无人机。与四年多来使用的螺旋桨驱动武器相比，新型无人机飞行速度更快、飞行高度更高，更难被拦截。
图斯克表示，俄罗斯还日益将打击目标对准波兰边境附近的乌克兰基础设施。
2026年9月18日，在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰期间，一架俄罗斯无人机袭击了乌克兰境内一列载有外国贵宾的客运列车，其中包括多名欧盟高级官员和前中央情报局局长戴维·彼得雷乌斯，迫使他们在距离波兰边境仅几英里处撤离。乘客们在边境附近遭遇空袭警报后重新登上在乌克兰的列车。
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在本周接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻独家专访时表示：“也许他们不知道当时有一些美国人在场，或者恰恰相反，他们知道，因为我不信任他们。”
“我认为他们当时清楚，”泽连斯基补充道，称这是俄罗斯恐吓他本人和其他外国领导人战略的一部分。
另一架无人机袭击了附近加油站的一辆卡车。受无人机袭击影响，波兰边境警卫队临时暂停了跨境交通，疏散了车辆内的人员，并加强了安全部署。
波兰强化边境防御
波兰也提升了军事戒备状态。国防部长瓦迪斯瓦夫·科希尼亚克-卡明希周二表示，一个工程团的士兵正在加固波乌边境沿线的边防基础设施。
根据波兰武装部队的说法，这些措施包括在边境沿线安装赫斯科防爆墙——一种填充沙子或碎石的钢丝网结构，可快速搭建为防护屏障——以及新建观察哨和岗哨。
多罗胡斯克、梅迪卡和科尔乔瓦三个边境口岸也确认开展了类似工程。派往边境的新增波兰士兵总数尚未公开。官员们表示，这些措施不应被视为全面军事动员或大规模增兵，因为其目的仅为加固和保障边境基础设施安全。
2026年9月7日，在波兰东南部陆军训练中心的作战演示中，波兰步兵身着全套战术装备，伴随M1A1艾布拉姆斯主战坦克、Borsuk履带式步兵战车和KTO Rosomak 8×8轮式装甲车推进，经过一处射程标记牌。
但波兰及其欧洲北约盟友、乌克兰与俄罗斯都清楚，美军部署——尤其是永久性部署——将是北约强化东翼防御的重要一步。
特朗普政府的北约立场“令人困惑”
特朗普周四在帖文中称赞“我们伟大的美波同盟”，这是其政府不断调整美军部署计划与相关表态的最新动向，也让欧洲亲密盟友摸不着头脑。
今年5月，副总统JD·万斯指责媒体对“原计划向波兰部署4000名美军”的取消公告反应过度。两天后，特朗普宣布该部署不仅将推进，还将增至5000人。
“结局好就一切都好，”波兰外交部长拉多斯瓦夫·西科尔斯基当时说道。
瑞典外交部长玛丽亚·马尔默·斯坦内加德则称，美国对这个近80年历史的北约联盟共同防御的立场“确实令人困惑，且往往难以应对”。
目前驻扎在波兰的约1万名美军大多为轮驻部队。
今年6月，科希尼亚克-卡明希表示，美国军方正在考虑波兰提出的建立永久性基地的提议，但尚未做出最终决定。
另外，五角大楼正在对美军在欧洲的整体部署进行全面评估。国防部长皮特·赫格斯希6月宣布该评估时称，美国北约盟友“搭便车”的时代已经结束，并指责他们在伊朗战争期间“可耻地”无所作为。
科希尼亚克-卡明希已将波兹南和弗罗茨瓦夫列为美国基地的潜在选址，但尚未公布最终地点。
Trump touts plan for new U.S. base in Poland as NATO ally’s leader warns of “real risk” from Russia

Berlin — The U.S. has made “major progress” on plans to establish a permanent U.S. Army base in Poland, President Trump said Thursday in a social media post.
“If this goes ahead, the location will be announced very soon,” Mr. Trump said in his Truth Social post, which was shared by the White House on X. He said the new base would be a “historic step” for the U.S.-Poland alliance.
Poland’s government is likely to welcome the rhetoric as concern mounts over the possible spread of Russia’s ongoing full-scale war on neighboring Ukraine to NATO territory.
A “real risk” of Russia’s war on Ukraine spreading?
Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke in Poland’s parliament, hours before Mr. Trump’s post, of a “real risk that drones or other types of projectiles will enter the territory of one or several countries on the NATO eastern flank and even cause destruction.”
Citing unspecified intelligence, Tusk said Russia could portray such an incident — of which there are already numerous examples— even if it is deliberate, as an accident in a bid to erode NATO’s willingness to mount a joint response.
Tusk also referred to a new generation of jet-powered attack drones that Russia has been using to attack Ukraine. Compared to the propeller-driven weapons used for more than four years, the newer drones fly faster and at higher altitudes, making them more difficult to intercept.
Russia is also increasingly targeting Ukrainian infrastructure near the Polish border, Tusk said.

On Sunday, a Russian drone struck a passenger train inside Ukraine carrying foreign dignitaries on a visit, including senior European officials and former CIA Director David Petraeus, forcing them to evacuate just a few miles from the border with Poland.
“Maybe they didn’t know that some Americans had been there, or maybe, oppositely, they knew, because I don’t trust them,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CBS News in an exclusive interview this week.
“I think that they knew,” Zelenskyy added, calling it part of a Russian strategy to intimidate himself and other foreign leaders.
Another drone struck a truck at a nearby gas station. The drone impacts forced Poland’s border guards to temporarily suspend cross-border traffic, evacuate people from vehicles and enhance security.
Poland hardens its border
Poland has also boosted its military preparedness. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said Tuesday that soldiers from an engineering regiment were reinforcing border guard infrastructure along the Polish-Ukrainian frontier.
According to the Polish Armed Forces, the measures include the installation of Hesco bastions — wire and mesh structures filled with sand or gravel that are easy to set up as protective barriers — along with new observation and guard posts.
Similar work has been confirmed at three border crossings, in Dorohusk, Medyka and Korczowa. The total number of additional Polish soldiers sent to the border has not been made public. Officials have said the measures should not be considered a general military mobilization or large-scale buildup, as they are intended specifically to reinforce and secure border infrastructure.

But Poland, and its European NATO allies, along with Ukraine and Russia, know a U.S. troop deployment — especially a permanent one — would be a step up in NATO’s fortifications of its eastern flank.
Trump administration’s “confusing” NATO stance
Mr. Trump’s post on Thursday, in which he lauded “our Great U.S./Polish Alliance,” was the latest twist in his administration’s evolving plans and messaging around U.S. troop deployments that have kept close European allies guessing.
In May, Vice President JD Vance accused media outlets of “overreacting” to an announcement that a planned deployment of 4,000 U.S. forces to Poland had been canceled. Two days later, Mr. Trump announced that the deployment was not only going ahead, but that it would involve 5,000 troops.
“All’s well that ends well,” Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said at the time.
His Swedish counterpart, Maria Malmer Stenergard, called the U.S. position on joint defense under the nearly 80-year-old NATO alliance, “confusing indeed, and not always easy to navigate.”
The roughly 10,000 U.S. forces currently stationed in Poland are there largely on a rotational basis.
In June, Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz said the U.S. military was considering Poland’s proposal to establish a permanent base, but that no final decision had been made.
Separately, the Pentagon has been conducting a broader review of U.S. troop deployments across Europe. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, in announcing the review in June, said the “era of freeriding” by America’s NATO allies was over, accusing them of “shameful” inaction during the Iran war.
Kosiniak-Kamysz has named Poznań and Wrocław as potential locations for an American base, but no final location has been announced.
