WARSAW – Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on March 11 the government wants to launch a new programme to offer voluntary military training from 2026, with a target of being able to train 100,000 volunteers in 2027.
“The most important thing for us is that every person interested can participate in such training no later than 2026. And that is a difficult task, but I know it is doable,” Mr Tusk said ahead of a government sitting.
“In 2027, we will achieve the ability to train 100,000 volunteers per year... Apart from the professional army and beyond the Territorial Defence Forces, we must de facto build an army of reservists and our actions will serve this purpose.”
The Polish government backed giving military training to all adult males
Galvanised by Russia’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine three years ago
