Amid escalating tensions with Russia, Poland is contemplating reintroducing compulsory military service for its citizens. The government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, aims to enhance its military readiness in response to fears of a potential invasion. With a current reserve force of over 300,000, Poland aspires to train 7 million troops as a protective measure. Major General Maciej Klisz believes that mandatory conscription is "inevitable" as the geopolitical landscape shifts. Tusk warned that any weakening of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia would adversely affect Poland's security situation.
Speaking about the increasing military tension in Eastern Europe, Polish General Maciej Klisz stated that "it is inevitable" that Poland will need to implement mandatory military conscription once again.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized the urgency of strengthening the nation’s reserve forces, detailing how adult males in Poland will now undergo military training to prepare for potential conflict with Russia.
Tusk warned that if Ukraine were to compromise its sovereignty in peace negotiations, Poland would consequently face a "much more difficult geopolitical situation" as a result.
The need for readiness is illustrated by comparing Poland's current reserve of over 300,000 troops to the target of 7 million fully trained soldiers that the government aims to achieve.
