CEE

Wires carrying comments from Polish presidential adviser Marcin Przydacz stating that a joint declaration has been adopted by the US, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, and all leaders of the Bucharest Nine states (Bulgaria, Poland, Czechia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania) condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and calling for an 'enhanced NATO presence' on Europe's eastern flank. Comes as US President Joe Biden and Polish President Andrzej Duda hold private talks.
