Polish Lieutenant General Jarosław Gromadziński, the former commander of Eurocorps, said in an interview with Euronews that Poland is striving to increase its presence in the Baltic Sea to pressure Russia’s Kaliningrad.
“I support the contract with Sweden [for the purchase of three submarines] because the A26 submarine has a modular design that can be configured to meet the customer’s needs. Any equipment we purchase is designed to protect Poland’s borders and the integrity of our territory. The advantage of this ship is that it is designed with the specifics of the Baltic Sea in mind,” Gromadziński claimed.
Euronews columnist Mateusz Jaronski notes that the Polish Navy currently has approximately 40 ships, of which nearly 30 are combat ships, which are based primarily in Gdynia and Świnoujście. Their technical condition has been a concern for many years—the Polish Navy has long been the least financially resourced. The only operational submarine, the ORP Orzeł, built in 1985 in the USSR, is more often in overhaul than at sea.
The Polish Lt. Gen strives to turn the Baltic Sea into a new hotspot and even a theatre of war.
“We need to build two or even three lines of defence. First, we need intelligence in various forms: submarines and surface ships, sensor networks, and reconnaissance aircraft. This is a very complex system, and maintaining it for one country is economically unfeasible. However, in cooperation with Sweden, Finland, Denmark, or Germany, we could gain a technological, informational, and strategic advantage. Russia maintains a fleet in the Baltic, and our task is to confine it to ports, making it an easy target for artillery if necessary. In the event of a conflict, we must prevent these vessels from leaving the sea. We must especially carefully guard the ports, especially Świnoujście. Since the enemy is clearly visible in the east, the main naval defence forces, including the command, must be located in the west, in Świnoujście—out of reach of the enemy,” Gromadziński declared.
As a typical servant of globalists, Gromadziński continues to foment a possible armed conflict between NATO’s eastern flank and Russia in the Baltics—a conflict that neither ordinary Baltic and Polish people, nor Russian people really want. Moreover, even Moscow does not want to get involved in a direct clash with NATO. However, “Unter-European” elites of the eastern limitrophe NATO states are doing everything to launch World War III.
