flag Poland plans to train up to 500,000 male reserves amid Russia-Ukraine tensions.

flag Poland plans to require all adult males to undergo large-scale military training to bolster its reserve forces, amid concerns over Russia's actions in Ukraine and shifting US support. flag This could create a reserve army of up to 500,000 soldiers. flag Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk proposed this initiative, inspired by Switzerland's military model, where men are obliged to serve in the military or alternative services, with women able to volunteer. flag The move comes as Poland, a NATO member, seeks to enhance its defense capabilities, with President Andrzej Duda pushing for a constitutional amendment to allocate at least 4% of GDP to defense.
