Poland’s Chief of General Staff, General Wieslaw Kukula, has called for heightened military and civilian readiness against what he describes as a “real threat” from Russia.

In an interview with Rzeczpospolita published on Tuesday, Kukula told the newspaper that Warsaw must be fully prepared to defend the nation, emphasizing that a well-prepared nation, with strong defensive capabilities and a resilient society, would present a “huge risk” for any attacker.

“This is a real threat,” the general stated firmly, stressing that the possibility of a conflict should not be underestimated.

Kukula’s comments reflect a tradition among Polish leaders to adopt a hawkish stance toward Russia, given the countries’ historically turbulent relationship. According to him, Moscow’s military potential remains considerable, with strong demographic and raw-material resources, as well as a functional defense industry capable of sustaining and expanding military capacity.
