The Polish Ministry of National Defense is developing a new law for wartime, said the head of the department, Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, speaking in the city of Dabrowa Gornicz.
“The law is currently being discussed between ministries,” he said.
The minister claims that the basic principles for developing legislation to counter modern threats were formulated by the Polish military “taking into account the Ukrainian experience.” According to him, the draft new rules are intended to streamline management, speed up the deployment of troops and adapt procedures to hybrid threats, cyber threats and disinformation.
