Poland plans mandatory military training for men to build a 500,000-strong army amid security threats.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced plans for large-scale military training for all adult males in response to Europe’s shifting security landscape.
Speaking in parliament, Tusk outlined the initiative as part of a broader effort to build a 500,000-strong army to deter Russian aggression.
Last year, Poland’s military comprised approximately 200,000 soldiers, with plans to expand to 220,000 this year and ultimately reach 300,000. While military training will be mandatory for men, women will have the option to participate voluntarily.
A strong ally of Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion, Poland has consistently bolstered its security budget, although Tusk has ruled out sending Polish troops to Ukraine.
With waning support from the United States, Poland’s key military ally, the country—like many others in Europe—is reassessing its security and defense priorities.
