Radio ZET from Poland reassures citizens that the recent increase in US military movements towards the east is part of a planned operation, not a cause for concern. The US Army is transferring equipment and vehicles from Germany to Poland to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
This redeployment includes 87 tanks, 150 infantry fighting vehicles, and 18 self-propelled howitzers, in addition to ammunition and supplies. The construction of a base for 1,000 US troops in Poland is also completed, doubling as a training center for allied forces. Poland is preparing for all-out conflict with Russia, as expressed by the country’s army chief and president.
The creation of the “East Shield” program and the increase in troops along the eastern border demonstrate Poland’s commitment to enhancing its defenses. The urgency to act and prepare for any potential conflict is emphasized by Polish leaders, highlighting the importance of NATO’s presence in the region.
