Since ratifying the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (Ottawa Convention), the security situation in our region has fundamentally deteriorated. Military threats to NATO Member States bordering Russia and Belarus have significantly increased. In light of this unstable security environment—marked by Russia’s aggression and its ongoing threat to the Euro-Atlantic community—it is essential to evaluate all measures to strengthen our deterrence and defense capabilities.

- We in Poland recognize three lines of action, and I am pleased to hear that they are shared among us. To keep Russia as far away from here as possible. As far away from our countries as possible. That means supporting Ukraine, and we all agree on that. Wedeclare our continued support for Ukraine when it is fighting, and when the desired, just peace arrives. The second line is building trans-atlantic relationships. We are willing and ready, and confirm our strategic trans-atlantic partnership. The third line is building a strong Europe. This is what we have focused on today. Not just the military strength of Europe, but the strength of its infrastructure related to arms production – deputy prime minister W. Kosiniak – Kamysz said in Paris.

NATO – Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC) has opened. It is the first endeavour of this kind, the first institution like that, tangible proof of the relations between NATO and Ukraine. It is an important moment for our partnership, as we can easily say that a partnership between NATO and Ukraine exists – it exists from the beginning of the war, encompassing planned and delivered support. But it is that bidirectional action – for Poland and the NATO countries, as well as for Ukraine – that is true solidarity. Solidarity with one another, not against each other – said deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz during the press conference.

- We are grateful that the secretary has chosen Poland as the destination of his first official bilateral visit. This shows our partnership, our mutual friendship and shared security strategy – for the United States, for Poland, Europe and the whole world. This is our great duty. It is a great honour for me to welcome the secretary in Poland today and discuss the most important challenges for the security of Poland, the United States, Europe and the world. I am grateful for this very good discussion. – the deputy prime minister, minister of national defence Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz stressed after the meeting with the US secretary of defence.

- Today we have discussed Alliance capabilites and we have heard very good things. A plan was accepted that will increase rapid response capabilities. (…) This means an increase in the capability to defend, especially NATO’s eastern flank, and particularly Poland, by all the allied forces. In this, allied unity is maintained and stressed. – deputy prime minister – minister of national defence Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz said during the second day of his visit in Brussels.

„Our meeting is a very important event in european and global politics. I believe that the world, Poland, Sweden – all of us will rise to the challenge not just through increased spending, cooperation of our industries, shared training, being joned in alliances, but also through appropriate support for Ukraine, so that we can lead the world towards a just peace, a peace for future generations. This unites us – many years of cooperation with Sweden and many years of our friendship’s future” – deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz said after a meeting with the minister of defence from Sweden.

- The Group of Five is a format that complements our relations within the European Union and NATO. We are here to better coordinate certain actions. We are at a moment, when Ukraine badly needs our support, and we recognize that war exhaustion impacts our societies, the Ukrainian society in particular. This great effort, that the Ukrainians have been making for over a thousand days to fight for their freedom, but also for security in Europe, must continue. (…) This format was built around those European states that offer the most aid and bear great expenses for security and defense, fulfilling a number of allied plans and commitments. Europe has to show its strength. Europe can once again be a lighthouse for the world, but it must clearly state „Security is the number one priority” – deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak – Kamysz said after the meeting of the Group of Five format.

- At the meeting in Ramstein, I presented a plan for our coalition to develop armoured capabilities for Ukraine and provided information on additional donations. All countries participating in this meeting are preparing for further support and donations for Ukraine - stated Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz following a meeting of representatives from over 50 countries forming the Ukraine Defence Contact Group.

- Our intention is to conclude a comprehensive plan of joint activities in the military and defence sphere for the forthcoming years. To delineate precisely the scope of collaboration between Canada and Poland in the domain of security. (…) I believe that the plan for 2025-2026, which we will adopt imminently, will represent a significant advancement in integration, our collective strength, and our shared responsibility for security - stated Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz following a meeting with Canada's Minister of Defence.

- Our approach is guided by the principle of continuing those actions that are beneficial and rectifying those that are detrimental. As General Kukuła observed, the lessons of the war in Ukraine are being implemented. It would be erroneous to assume that a one-off solution is being adopted - rather, flexibility is required. The ability to adapt is of paramount importance in order to ensure that the military is able to respond effectively to changing circumstances. (…) After two years and, in a moment, after three years of experience of the war in Ukraine, there must be an analysis and redefinition of the actions we are conducting - stated Deputy Prime Minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz at the conference "Lessons from the war in Ukraine – equipment and structure of the Polish army and Civil Defence".
