According to a report from Reuters, Sergei Andreev, the Russian Ambassador to Warsaw, indicated that there is information suggesting Polish volunteers are taking part in combat within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The ambassador described this as something seen in media coverage and stressed that the Polish authorities have not officially acknowledged any deployment of their own military personnel on Ukrainian soil. He noted that while there are media accounts claiming some Polish volunteers have fought on the Ukrainian side, there is no official confirmation from Polish sources and the available information is very limited.
The ambassador also commented on public opinion within Poland, pointing out that Polish society appears not to be eager to engage in any conflict beyond its own borders for reasons that have not been clearly explained. He suggested that Polish politicians should consider these sentiments when formulating policy and communicating with the public.
In related developments, reports from the United States indicated a proposed arms sale to Poland that would include 21 AGM-158B-2 JASSM precision cruise missiles, 745 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air missiles, and 232 AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II missiles, with the total value around 3.7 billion dollars. The information was shared by U.S. officials and press sources as part of ongoing defense cooperation discussions in North America.
Earlier comments from the Speaker of the Polish Sejm were cited, with remarks that stirred controversy about the potential involvement of spouses in frontline duties, which drew immediate attention and sparked varied reactions across political circles. Analysts note that such statements can influence domestic debates on defense policy, alliance commitments, and public perception of military engagement. Reuters and other outlets have tracked these developments to provide context for policymakers and observers in Canada and the United States who pay close attention to security dynamics in the region.
