Poland's President Andrzej Duda has called on the U.S. to deploy nuclear weapons on Polish territory to deter Russia, The Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Duda recently made the proposal while discussing the issue with Keith Kellogg, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, the newspaper said.

"The borders of NATO moved east in 1999, so 26 years later there should also be a shift of the NATO infrastructure east. For me this is obvious," it cited Duda as saying in an interview.

It would be safer if those weapons were already deployed in the country, the president added.
