Decreased Willingness to Fight for the Country

According to the recent survey, only 43.2% of Poles are currently willing to fight for the country, compared to 49.1% two months earlier. The percentage of people who said they were unsure of their decision to fight has increased substantially since then, with a corresponding rise in the percentage of woes from 6.1% in September to 13.6%.

Differences Between Men and Women

There are dramatic differences between men and women in terms of the willingness to fight. About 56% of men indicated they would fight for Poland compared to 22% of women. There are also increases in the percentage of women who indicated they were not willing to fight, from 61% who now indicate "no".

Young Adults Display Lowest Readiness

Although young adults aged 18-29 years old are still the least willing to fight, the percentage of young adults who reported definitely being willing to fight for Poland increased from 0% in September to 19%. A very small increase, but a significant change.

    Trump Invites Poland to G20 Calling It a Great Friend

    It was a diplomatic signal wrapped in simple words. US President Donald Trump confirmed this week that Poland was extended an invitation to this year's G20 meetings because, in his words, it is a "great country" and a close friend of the United States. Poland's finance minister and central bank governor both took part in a G20 gathering in Washington on Thursday — a meeting that South Africa, a full and longstanding member of the group, was notably shut out of by the Trump administration. The move has raised eyebrows and sparked fresh questions about how Washington is choosing to engage with the world's major economic forums.

    A disturbing investigation has pulled back the curtain on a hidden Russian military facility where human beings are used as test subjects in live artillery experiments. The site, officially called the State Research Institute of Military Medicine, was set up with one core objective: determining which artillery systems are most effective at killing or incapacitating enemy soldiers on the battlefield. The findings have sent shockwaves through international security and human rights circles.
    According to the investigation carried out by Proekt, an independent Russian outlet known for its in-depth investigative work, the institute has been operating under a unique legal status since 2015— the only institution within Russia's Defense Ministry officially permitted to conduct experiments involving human participants.
