All adult males in Poland will receive military training in preparation for war

The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced that all adult males in Poland are to receive military training in preparation for war.

Tusk told Parliament this initiative will strengthen Poland’s reserve forces in response to growing security threats from Moscow.

Tusk has warned that should Ukraine lose the war or accept peace in a manner that “weakens its sovereignty” then Poland will be in a more “difficult geopolitical situation,” the Kyiv Indpedent reported.

The Polish Prime Minister said, “If Ukraine loses the war or if it accepts the terms of peace, armistice, or capitulation in such a way that weakens its sovereignty and makes it easier for Putin to gain control over Ukraine, then, without a doubt and we can all agree on that, Poland will find itself in a much more difficult geopolitical situation.”

Tusk also announced Poland’s plans to increase the size of the Polish army from 200,000 to 500,000 as he warned Russia has 1.3 million soldiers.

He added, “We will try to have a model ready by the end of this year so that every adult male in Poland is trained in the event of war, so that this reserve is comparable and adequate to the potential threats.”
