A rapid change in the geopolitical sphere – precisely in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova – caused by an aggressive posture of Russian Federation (RF) and difficulties accelerated by an immigration crisis in Europe, for which one more time Russians play a significant role, have induced an evolution of adhering the Polish Armed Forces (PAF) to the new security circumstances.
