Eastern flank – Why Poland is crucial to Europe's defence push

With questions raised over Europe’s defence capabilities, Poland is one of the key nations insisting the continent needs to bolster its security. This March the European Commission announced an €800bn plan to boost continental defence. But is Europe doing enough? Gavin Esler discusses the view from Poland with Professor Agnieszka Bieńczyk-Missala from the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies at Warsaw University. • This episode of This Is Not A Drill is supported by Incogni, the service that keeps your private information safe, protects you from identity theft and keeps your data from being sold.
