General Alexus Grynkewich, the fresh Chief Commander of the Alliance Force in Europe (SACEUR) and Head of Command of the European Armed Forces USA (EUCOM), met representatives of the Polish government in Warsaw today. Thank you for a good and circumstantial conversation. You gotta usage all time Joint Allied Forces Actions and remember that each country must build its own powers of deterrence and defence – wrote Deputy Prime Minister, Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz after the meeting.
Ready to defend
The head of the MON discussed with the general, among others, the issue of Europe's safety and transatlantic and military cooperation between Poland and the United States. “We talked about challenges, about being ready to defend NATO states against threats from Russia, from China, from another countries.

During his interview with the head of diplomacy, the American military positively assessed Polish efforts to modernise the armed forces.

China and Russia will start a planet war?
General Grynkewich became audible erstwhile a fewer days ago the planet media spoke about what the general said during a defence conference in German Wiesbaden. The military then stated that if China decided to attack Taiwan, Xi Jinping would "probably coordinate the attack with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which creates the anticipation of a global conflict". For me, this means that both events can happen at the same time. We'll request all play. arms, equipment and ammunition, which we can get to be ready – said NATO's chief of forces in Europe, as quoted by "Bild". The General assessed that the US and the European Union have a year and a half to prepare for a possible global armed conflict with China and Russia.
In a akin tone, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte late spoke. Let's not be naive about this. If Xi Jinping had attacked Taiwan, he would have called his younger partner Vladimir Vladimir Putin, who lives in Moscow, and said, "Hey, I'm going to do this, and I request you to cover them in Europe with attacks on NATO territory," Rutte said in a conversation with The fresh York Times.
This commander is always from the United States.
General Alexus Grynkewich of the US Air Force took command of the Allied Command Operations (ACO) on 4 July 2025. ACO is liable for the planning and implementation of all NATO military operations and is headed by SACEUR. Gen. Grynkewich succeeded General Christopher Cavali of the U.S. Land Forces, who had held this function since 2022.
General Grynkewich as Chief Commander of the Alliance Force in Europe (SACEUR) holds the second most crucial military position in the Alliance, stepping down only to the president of the NATO Military Committee. SACEUR was exclusively performed by US military from the beginning. The first in this position was General Dwight D. Eisenhower, later 34th president of the United States.
