The Influence and Role of the United States of America in Ensuring the Military Security of Central and Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present a military threat in the region of Central and Eastern Europe and measures to prevent the war. The author outlines alternatives showing that the security of this area largely depends on the presence of the American forces. Destabilisation of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea by Russia is not only a threat to Kiev but to the whole Central and Eastern Europe. For Central and Eastern Europe, the possible merger of Russia and Belarus is dangerous. Donald Trump’s administration is involved in security issues in Central and Eastern Europe. NATO summit in Poland in 2016 was to take the appropriate steps in response to Russia's aggressive policy. It was agreed that the North Atlantic Alliance states would allocate more money in defence. This idea, pushed by the Moscow, does not have full support in Minsk. Since the United States is a key country in NATO, many countries over the last few decades have sought to be ,,protected” by it. The decision of the permanent presence of the American troops on Polish territory is only one of the elements of ensuring security, not only of this country, but of the whole region. Other measures should continue to be implemented to increase it. The following methods will be used in the text: document analysis (books, journalism, internet), historical and comparative method.
