"On March 26, we are activating as co-leaders, Poland and Germany, the armour capability coalition for support of Ukraine, it is one of the most important coalitions that have been established. Other partners have signed up for it, such as Great Britain, Sweden, and Italy,” the Polish minister told reporters at a press conference.
The German Defense Minister spoke about possible threats from Russia and noted that the West should be prepared for any possible scenario.
"Nobody really knows whether or when Russia will [attack anybody] in Europe, but what we really see is that it is able and willing to attack Ukraine and is doing it now for more than two years. So what we have to learn all together as allies in Europe is to be prepared for any threat, especially for a threat which comes from Putin's Russia in any year. This is a task we have to do and this is what we are working on,” - said Boris Pristorius.
The defense ministers of Germany and Poland also announced that both countries will participate in the creation of a rapid response military group aimed at repelling a possible attack on EU countries. Starting in July, units comprising 2 500 Polish and German soldiers will be ready for an immediate response if necessary.
