Some kind of missile defense shield might be another story, if they could afford it, but I don't think the EU will bless Poland building nukes of their own. It would be seen as highly provocative towards Moscow I'd think. Again no expert at all but that idea feels unlikely unless maybe they host some small contingent of weapons from an EU ally, like France, maybe?
