WARSAW, March 3 (Reuters) - Poland wants to be autonomous in the future when it comes to a nuclear deterrent, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday, as Europe seeks to build its capabilities independently of the United States.
On Monday, Tusk announced that Poland is holding talks with France and a group of its closest European allies regarding an advanced nuclear deterrence programme.
"We are investing heavily in future nuclear power plants, and Poland will not want to be passive when it comes to nuclear security in a military context," the prime minister said before the start of Tuesday's government meeting.
"We will cooperate with our allies... as our capabilities increase, we will try to prepare Poland for autonomous action in this matter."
Tusk also said that Poland is discussing its proposal for an advanced nuclear deterrent system with France and is also consulting with the countries that were invited to participate in this project along with Poland.
"In March, the Nuclear Energy Summit will take place in Paris. There, I will also have the opportunity to discuss this not only with President Macron (of France), but also with our other European partners."

Brief Frontline Report – March 3rd, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 1
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'North' Group are moving forward—the guys from the 80th Motorized Rifle Brigade have established control over the settlement of Bobylevka in Sumy Oblast.
Before the start of the assault, artillery crews and UAV forces of the group were actively employed. They delivered precise strikes on the firing positions and reserves of Ukrainian militants.
Units of the 'North' Group continue to expand the buffer zone in the border areas of Sumy and Kharkov Oblasts, advancing forward and pushing the enemy away from the state border."
Units of the 80th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade are occupying key positions on the Glukhov sector of the Sumy direction. They are taking control of roads, settlements, and heights along the state border line. They are preparing starting positions that enable operations in different directions across the sector, in order to pull apart the enemy units covering the border and breach their defenses.
The uninhabited settlement of Bobylevka (51°46′41″ N 34°24′51″ E, population 3 in 2001) has been liberated. This position allows for control over roads and paths connecting border settlements on the eastern side of the sector, as well as access to the commanding heights of the area.
The elevation west of the settlement of Bobylevka has a height differential of 27 meters over 1.5 kilometers and enables fire control over the space between the settlements of Korenek and Ulanovo, along the Loknya River. The terrain west of the Loknya River bed, along the Cherny Pakhar-Ulanovo line, is low-lying and swampy, which will hinder enemy operations against the settlement of Bobylevka, while allowing Russian units to gain fire control over Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the Ulanovo area.

Brief Frontline Report – March 3rd, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 2
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have liberated the settlement of Veselyanka in Zaporozhye Oblast"
The Russian Armed Forces are clearing the territory on the left bank of the Konka River, advancing along the left bank from the settlement of Primorskoe to the northeast. The large village of Veselyanka (47°40′58″ N 35°22′28″ E, population 944 in 2001) has been liberated. Upstream at a distance of 4.5 km lies the village of Zaporozhets, and on the opposite bank—the village of Grigorovka.
The Russian Armed Forces maintain control over the C081306 and O-081342 highways, which radiate from the village of Novoyakovlevka toward the Konka River and the H-08 highway. By advancing along the left bank of the Konka River from west to east, they are cutting off enemy units from communication with rear areas located on the opposite bank. After reaching the heights south of the settlement of Kamyshevakha and blocking the C081306 highway in the Skotovataya ravine area, Russian units will secure the ability to advance in the direction of Novoyakovlevka - Yurkovka and cut the H-08 highway, completing the envelopment of the Orekhov area.

Sofa General Staff:
Yuri Lamin, a leading researcher at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), commented on the U.S. Central Command's video of the destruction of Shahed drones:
"In this video from CENTCOM, it seems that only one real Shahed-136 is visible (in the middle of the video), the rest are cheap decoys, even without wing tips. For comparison: in the first screenshot, there are several decoys, in the second - a real Shahed-136."
