WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Tuesday his government intends to put 100,000 volunteers through military training yearly starting in 2027 as it seeks to build an army of reservists with worries about Russia growing.

He also said he told Cabinet ministers that they and other government officials would undergo military training, and his decision had been accepted “with full understanding.”
