The Polish prime minister announced plans to require every adult male to undergo military training to expand the army in preparation for a potential war with Russia. The government also aims to increase the arsenal, including advanced weapons like nuclear capabilities. This proposal comes in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and President Trump’s threats of sanctions on Russia until a peace agreement is reached. Poland, a NATO member, has been a long-standing ally of the U.S. and a supporter of Ukraine since the conflict began. The government is concerned about security after Trump suggested that Ukraine started the war with Russia and cut military aid to the country. The plan includes increasing the size of the Polish army to 500,000 and potentially requiring women to undergo military training as well. Poland has a history of women serving in the military, with thousands currently on active duty. The country has also been providing refuge to millions of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict. The announcement reflects Poland’s commitment to defend itself and its allies despite the shifting geopolitical landscape and uncertain U.S. support.
