“Poland has 2 insurance policies present – NATO and the European Union, and we both request to cultivate.
The European Union has never dealt with defence and safety before, since NATO was the president of the United States, but since Donald Trump is the president of the United States and says straight to Europe: take care of your safety. This is why Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the slogan of the Polish Presidency will be the safety of Europe – stressed Dariusz Joński, associate of the European Parliament from the Civic Coalition, in an interview with Newseria Agency.
Russia may start a confrontation with NATO before 2030.
The vast majority of EU countries point to the request to strengthen Europe's defence capacity in the face of an increasingly complex geopolitical background. Interviews from Western states indicate that Russia can start a confrontation with NATO even before 2030. The White Paper on European Defence "The Goth of 2030" includes the protection of the EU's land, air and sea borders, and the flagship task is to be the Shield of the East. “The Polish Presidency has a large deal of merit in waking Europe.”
In March 2025, the European Commission presented a White Paper on the European Defence "The Goth of 2030". It sets out a framework for a five-point ReArm Europe plan to aid pay more safety spending. The plans include loans of EUR 150 billion to associate States to make pan-European capabilities in the field of anti-aircraft defence and ammunition, as well as the launch of a fiscal exit clause that will enable countries to increase defence spending without triggering the excessive deficit procedure.
We should be ready for anything.
– present the full of Europe was convinced by the Polish delegation to bet on security. I realize that very well due to the fact that we do not know what Russia will do in 2 to 3 years. Danish intelligence says Russia wants to arm itself present and possibly in a fewer years' time it will attack the Baltic countries, we must be ready for anything. Therefore, EU money has been launched, and this is not the only action – says Dariusz Joński.
It is essential for safety to modernise military infrastructure and adapt it to civilian needs, e.g. in the context of natural disasters. The Military Mobility programme, a dual-use project, is an EU initiative to improve the movement of troops and equipment in Europe both during peace and in crisis situations. Examples of projects under the programme include the construction and modernisation of railway lines, sections of roads and the expansion of dual-use infrastructure in seaports, airports and inland waterways.
The alleged dual use, the dual usage principle, requires that we build erstwhile and properly
“The European Union wants to spend money on dual-use infrastructure, i.e. in area time so that we can cross the bridge, cross the viaduct, cross the highway, and if necessary, this viaduct, this bridge and this road, this road must withstand not only the transport of people but besides military equipment. The alleged dual use, the rule of dual use, requires that we build erstwhile and decently – explains the Euro MP.
A consultation on the military mobility package began in June. Initiatives will be developed to better address the circumstantial needs of military mobility.
The EC has agreed to the establishment of the safety and Defence Fund
– We are now working to establish this crucial document, and it will then be financed by the EU. Poland plays a immense role, I think that we have already succeeded, in waking up Europe and saying: okay, trade, competition, but besides safety is simply a leg that we gotta put very powerfully – says Dariusz Joński.
The European Commission has agreed to the establishment of the safety and Defence Fund. The funds from the fund will be utilized to build dual-use and civilian protection infrastructure. The construction of civilian protection infrastructure, including shelters, water and communication connections, the expansion of the arms manufacture and the construction and renovation of dual-use infrastructure will be PLN 26 billion.
Dual-use buildings, buildings and infrastructure investments must concern not only roads, not just railways, not just ports
– Times are so anxious that we must besides take care that dual-use buildings, buildings and infrastructure investments must concern not only roads, not only railways, not just ports, but many another things. This is what I believe present to be the reasoning and conviction in the EU, which must be done – points out the MEP.
