Poland has signed a preliminary deal with the US on plans to host part of its new missile defence shield.
Under the agreement, the US will install 10 interceptor missiles at a base on the Baltic coast in return for help strengthening Polish air defences.
The US says the system will protect itself and Europe against long range missile attacks by "rogue states".
Correspondents say the deal is expected to heighten tension between the US and Russia, which has condemned the plans.
Moscow has said the project will upset the military balance in Europe and has warned it will be forced but to redirect its missiles at Poland.
Relations between Washington and Moscow are currently strained over Russia's involvement in the conflict in Georgia.
