The aim of the strategy is to guarantee continuity of the functioning of the state administration and civilian protection both during peace and war. The strategy operator will be the head of the Home Affairs Ministry, which will coordinate communication and communication between the public administration, uniform services subordinate to the Ministry of Defence (such as police, fire brigade, Border Guard) and systems subordinate to the Ministry of Defence.
The strategy will include open and encrypted digital communications, including fixed, radio, mobile and satellite networks. Its scope will cover the full country, including critical infrastructure facilities. The strategy is intended to let fast exchange of information in real time and to be resistant to cyber threats.
At the same time, the Ministry of abroad Affairs announces the construction of an alarm, informing and notification strategy for the population in the event of various threats, including air strikes.
The proposal was included in the draft civilian Protection Act developed by the Ministry of abroad Affairs, but its details are not yet full known. The strategy will most likely be created after the entry into force of the Act, planned for next year. The cost of building an autonomous communications system, which may last until 2034, was initially estimated at PLN 3.7 billion.
The hybrid war is already on.
The investment seems highly essential to strengthen Poland's defence. At present on the east border, we can already talk about the ongoing hybrid war, the spread of which must be stopped at all costs. Implementation of any additional safeguards should aid discourage Russia and Belarus from further hostile behaviour.
We have been confirmed – and this is simply a worrying script – that the force on the east border of Poland is not spontaneous migration of people who flee different countries. Over 90% of those who cross the Polish border illegally are people with Russian visas said Prime Minister Donald Tusk last month. – We have no doubt, these are facts collected by our services too: the Russian state is behind the organization of recruitment, transport and later attempts to smuggle thousands of people.
Poles are afraid
The additional safety strategy should besides improve the country's mood. CBOS notes that over the last 2 years, the percent of Poles surveyed who feared the threat from Russia has usually remained around 75%. Since the erstwhile measurement, however, it increased by 9 percent points, reaching a level very akin to that at the beginning of the Russian invasion – according to the March CBOS poll.
On the question of CBOS whether they believe that the war in Ukraine threatens the safety of Poland, 83% of respondents answered yes. Of these, 40% stated "yes" and 43% chose "yes". On the another hand, 13% of respondents responded negatively, of which 11% responded "preferably not", and 2% "decidedly not". 4% of respondents found it hard to find the answer to this question.
