The timing and staging of Biden’s visit on Tuesday and Wednesday highlight how a year of war has transformed Poland’s place in the world, recasting its relationship with the United States and its role in Europe.
Though Poland’s conflict with Europe is certainly still simmering, the country’s role as a bridge between Ukraine, Europe and the rest of the world has largely shifted the conversation — at least for now.

In doing so, it has to a large extent turned to the United States for its new arms deals. Earlier this month, Washington gave the green light for Poland to buy, including High Mobility Artillery Rockets Systems, or HIMARS.
