Deputy Prime Minister Yaroslav Kaczynski called to strengthen the army due to the country’s geopolitical problems, in particular, “imperial ambitions of Russia.” His words reports Associated Press.
So, Kaczynski pointed out the need to adopt a bill that will provide for the strengthening of the country’s armed forces. According to the document, the defense budget of Poland will grow, as well as almost twice the number of army will increase – at least up to 250 thousand military and 50 thousand reservists.
“If we want to avoid the worst, namely, wars, we must act in accordance with the old rules:” If you want peace, get ready for war, “the politician said. In his opinion, Poland must have a serious deterrent strength, as well as the ability to “effectively defend themselves for a long time.”
In October, Yaroslav Kaczynsky accused Russia in conducting a multi-stage hybrid war against the country. According to politics, a hybrid war is being conducted against Poland at once in two directions: near the Polish-Belarusian border and in Warsaw itself.
