yaSalam - Warsaw telah memutuskan utk memindahkan pasukan dari negara barat ke arah sempadan timur kerana "krisis keselamatan terbesar sejak Perang Dingin." Ia adalah satu penyusunan utama semula struktur tentera, Menteri Per-tahanan Poland mengatakan kepada AP.
"Keadaan geopolitik telah berubah, kita mempunyai krisis terbesar keamanan sejak Perang Dingin dan kita mesti membuat kesimpulan itu," kata Menteri Pertahanan Poland Tomasz Siemoniak kepada Associated Press pada hari Isnin.
Beliau menjelaskan bahwa jumlah pasukan yg ditempatkan di 3 pangkalan tentera di timur akan meningkat 3 kali ganda dlm tempoh 2 tahun. Siemoniak menambah kuantiti perkakasan tentera yg ditempatkan di pangkalan juga akan meningkat.
Menteri Poland menjelaskan bahawa ia bukan satu langkah yang radikal tetapi untuk perlindungan kerana ancaman konflik jiran Ukraine.
". . . Kami ingin unit-unit di timur Poland untuk menjadi lebih cekap," katanya.
Kebanyakan tentera Poland telah tertumpu di bahagian barat negara ini sebagai negara tidak menyusun semula struktur ketenteraan kerana ia adalah sebahagian daripada blok Soviet.
POLAND to Move THOUSANDS Of troops to BORDER
with UKRAINE . . .
Warsaw has decided to relocate troops from the west of the country towards its eastern border due to “the biggest security crisis since the Cold War.” It is a major realignment of the military structure, Poland’s defense minister told the AP.
"The geopolitical situation has changed, we have the biggest crisis of security since the Cold War and we must draw conclusions from that," Poland’s Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak told The Associated Press on Monday.
He explained that the number of troops stationed at three military bases in the east will triple in two years. Siemoniak added that the quantity of military hardware stationed at the bases will also be increased.
The Polish minister explained that it was not a radical measure but for protection due to the threat posed by the neighboring Ukrainian conflict.
“. . . we would like those units in the east of Poland to be more efficient," he said.
Most of Poland’s army has been concentrated in the western part of the country as the country has not realigned its military structure since it was part of the Soviet bloc.
