Tusk: Poland planning to train ‘every adult man’ in case of war

CGTN Europe

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced plans to establish a training system for all adult males in Poland to prepare for potential war, with voluntary participation open to women. The model, expected by the end of the year, may follow the Swiss system, which includes incentives for annual training rather than mandatory service.  Tusk also suggested Poland might withdraw from international treaties banning anti-personnel landmines and cluster munitions, arguing that adversaries already possess such weapons.  Meanwhile, Polish President Andrzej Duda urged NATO allies to increase defense spending, as European leaders discussed stronger military investments amid uncertainty over U.S. security commitments.  #Poland #MilitaryTraining #NATO #Defense #Security #DonaldTusk #Geopolitics #WarPreparedness #EU #InternationalRelations
