Poland plans to create the strongest NATO ground forces in Europe

🇵🇱⚡Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak said that his country intends to create the strongest land forces among European NATO countries.

"The Polish army must be so numerous and so strong that its very existence scares away the aggressor. Kremlin potentates do not attack the strong — they attack when they see weakness. Both from the point of view of artillery and from the point of view of armored forces, there will not be a stronger country in Europe in the end. We will have the strongest ground forces among the European NATO countries," Blaszczak said.
