Polish parliament members added that the Russian invasion "is a direct attack on the Euro-Atlantic security and the whole international order, which will trigger massive geopolitical consequences".

Poland is in discussions about reinforcing NATO's eastern flank as soon as possible, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday after Russia invaded Ukraine.
