The Polish government has adopted a new National Security Strategy that incorporates lessons learned from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The updated plan was approved during a cabinet meeting on Friday.
At a press conference, government spokesman Adam Szlapka stressed that the strategy will serve as a guideline for all state institutions.
Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk noted that the previous strategy failed to reflect the realities of Russia’s aggression or new initiatives such as the Eastern Shield program to fortify Poland’s eastern border and counter hybrid warfare threats, PAP reported.
The updated document sets “supporting Ukraine as an independent, democratic state with a pro-Western orientation, capable of effective self-defense” among Poland’s core security goals.
It also outlines plans to strengthen deterrence and defense capabilities, boost economic and technological potential, improve the competitiveness of the economy, and enhance food and environmental security.
President Andrzej Duda approved Poland’s last National Security Strategy in May 2020.
Warsaw also called for a Maritime Security Center to protect port facilities and energy infrastructure at sea to counter threats.
