“Our army will soon become the largest in Europe,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. “Already today, we can say that we are building armed forces which, through their modern capabilities and their size, will help determine the future of the region,” Tusk said while taking part in a military parade. Tusk also said #Poland had “played a key role in preventing #NATO from splitting apart” and in ensuring that alliance members would not have to choose between #Europe and the United States.
