Poland
must build the strongest land army in Europe to deter further Russian expansion
westward, as Russian dictator Vladimir Putin responds only to force, Polish
Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said in a Twitter post on Nov. 14.
“Only the argument of force appeals to Putin,” said Błaszczak.
“Only a clear signal that the Polish Army will be able to independently defend its territory will stop Russia from further expansion westward.”
The minister is adamant that Poland should continue to build a 300,000-strong military force to deter Moscow.
"We must not deviate from the path of building the strongest land army in Europe," he concluded.
On Oct. 25, media reports said that Poland in October-November will conduct military exercises near the border with Russia and Belarus.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
