Knife attack on Belarusian border

 WARSAW — There is a growing belief that Poland will soon have Europe’s strongest army. Poland’s ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS), has not missed any opportunity to drum this message home, and one increasingly hears it being echoed abroad, too. But is it true?

There is a growing belief that Poland will soon have Europe’s strongest army. Poland’s ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS), has not missed any opportunity to drum this message home, and one increasingly hears it being echoed abroad, too. The claim largely rests on the PiS government’s unprecedented arms purchases and plans to expand the army to 300,000 soldiers by 2035.

Sławomir Sierakowski thinks the government has prioritized procurement over meaningful defense preparation.

This coming Friday will mark the two-month anniversary of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, with Ukrainian forces making few gains in 60 days of heavy fighting against fortified Russian positions despite receiving NATO training and tens of billions of dollars’ worth of the latest Western defense hardware.
