Ahead of Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the issue of military training, emphasizing the need for Poland to significantly expand its capabilities so that everyone interested—both men and women—can participate in such training.
Tusk reportedly requested the Minister of Defense to increase the capacity so that more citizens could undergo military training annually. “By 2027, we will achieve the capability to train 100,000 volunteers per year,” assured the Prime Minister.
Among these potential volunteers could be Witold Zembaczyński. Asked about his willingness to sign up for military exercises, Zembaczyński responded with a narrative fit for a wartime movie.
“I’d gladly do so. In fact, I missed an opportunity when I personally visited Bakhmut to show my middle finger to Prigozhin when he was still alive. Yes, I showed Prigozhin my middle finger right there in Bakhmut, with Russian artillery firing at us and drones circling overhead,” Zembaczyński stated during an interview on Polish Radio.
Despite the radio host appearing skeptical about this sensational account, Zembaczyński went on:
“I was, after all, on Ukrainian territory even before Jarosław Kaczyński visited. For example, I was there during a cruise missile attack on Yavoriv. I’ve been to Ukraine many times during my missions,” he added.
