In the 43rd Naval Air Force Base in Gdynia, approximately 200 Polish civilians took part in military training, motivated by rising tensions with Russia. Participants, ranging from 15 to 53 years old, learned skills such as firearm handling and first aid. Young participant Tomasz Kuczynski expressed a desire to acquire useful skills for potential wartime scenarios, highlighting the influence of neighboring Ukraine's conflict. The event reflects growing concerns over military threats, especially with Russian troop movements near the Polish border and the recent invasion situation in Ukraine.
I want to learn things that will be useful in case of war; it's my patriotic duty, Kuczynski explains, assisted by Piotr Langenfeld, spokesman for the 7th Pomeranian Territorial Defense Brigade.
The war isn't over, and there's information that Russia is amassing thousands of troops on the eastern border [in Belarus], Langenfeld notes.
