Polish Territorial Defence Forces: Readiness and the Complexities of Conflict
Due to the violation of Polish airspace by presumed Russian drones and the activation of ground search and rescue teams, the Polish Territorial Defence Forces (WOT) have been placed on heightened alert. The call-up time for WOT soldiers has been shortened in the eastern voivodeships to six hours before reporting for duty, and twelve hours in central voivodeships. This adjustment comes in response to drones entering Polish airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine, leading to the downing of several drones and the closure of multiple airports. Officials are urging the public to remain calm, share information from official sources, and report any debris without approaching it.
