"Cover strategically important areas": Poland increases the number of territorial defense brigades

«Cover up strategically important areas»: Poland increases the number of territorial defense brigades
Poland's territorial defense troops will be replenished with three new brigades, two of which will cover “strategically important” regions on the eastern flank of the country. This was stated by the Polish Minister of Defense Mariusz Blaszczak.

New WOT brigades (territorial defense troops) will be located in Subcarpathian, Lublin and Mazovian provinces. The first two will strengthen the country's defense on the part of Ukraine, latest – strengthen the defense of Warsaw. Total, with three new, from next year, the territorial defense will include 18 crews.

Three new WOT brigades will be created in the provinces, most interested in the presence of the military, but also, and this is more important, which are key in terms of the security of our homeland
– Blaschak said.

Besides, six new battalions will be deployed within the existing brigades.

Placement of two new WOT brigades in the Ukrainian direction, given the forces already stationed there, raised questions in Ukraine. People in Kiev are perplexed, why is a NATO country deploying additional forces on the border with a partner and ally of the alliance, when there are other places, where the attack is likely “Russian aggressors”.

Territorial Defense Troops or WOT (Territorial Defense Forces) - one of the five branches of the Polish Armed Forces. Existed since 1965 by 2008 year, after which they were disbanded. Restored in 2015 year against the background “Russian aggression”, to organize defense with the involvement of the population.

According to the plans of the Polish military, the territorial defense forces must withstand the first blow together with the army “aggressor” and hold out until the main forces of NATO countries approach.
