„A Polish general is the deputy commanding officer of the V CORPS od the US Army. It is an important military unit since its forward element deployed in Poznań commands all US forces on the Eastern flank of NATO. We are proud that the Polish general became its deputy commander. The responsibilities general Jabloński takes over from general Joks predominantly encompass situational awareness of the US forces on the Eastern flank. But with regards to the Polish Armed Forces they also include introducing ABRAMS tanks into Polish service - said minister Blaszczak in the V Corps Command.

„On September 17, 1939, Soviet Russia invaded Poland. At the time, our Homeland was defending itself against the German invasion, so it was a blow struck in the back. Today, we do everything to make the Polish Armed Forces strong, to make their potential so great that the Russian empire, which is once again rebuilding itself, will not decide to invade Poland. To deter the aggressor. Polish military must be strong in order to defend every inch of Polish soil" Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said before the start of the "Autumn Fire 23" [Polish: Jesienny Ogień] exercise.

On July 11-12 in Vilnius, Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of National Defense, participated in a meeting of NATO heads of State and Government in a delegation led by Polish President Andrzej Duda.

- We discussed the NATO summit which is to be held in Vilnius. We coordinated our position. In fact, I can say that there is no controversy, there are no question marks between our approach and the fundamental goal we have, which is to strengthen the North Atlantic Alliance. It is also to create a clear path to NATO membership for Ukraine. It is as well to achieve greater consolidation within the North Atlantic Alliance so as to preserve unity, because together we are stronger" said Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of National Defense of Poland

"History is being made before our eyes. This is a milestone in the history of Poland and the Eurocorps, as today's event is another important step in Poland's integration into the Eurocorps. After we became the 6th framework country of the Eurocorps last year, today we open another chapter of Polish participation in this structure. A Polish general will take command of this structure for the very first time. The Eurocorps is a crucial element in the chain of command, both in NATO and in the European Union." - Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of National Defense, said during his visit to the Eurocorps.

- Today, we held the 13th meeting of the Contact Group, which was assembled by the US with a broader membership than just NATO Allies. The task of this group is to coordinate support for Ukraine. We may be pleased that Poland's role in supporting Ukraine is appreciated by our Allies. At the same time, I think that it is our achievement that among the countries supporting Ukraine we share a belief that the Russian empire is evil" said Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz Blaszczak after meetings with NATO Allies.

"We continue our joint activities aimed at strengthening the defense capabilities of the countries that make up the V4 group. We work together very closely, both in the V4 format, as well as in other formats - within the B9, NATO and the European Union. Together we build interoperability by exercising our soldiers. We are also jointly allocating significant sums for the modernization of our armed forces." - Mariusz Blaszczak, Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of National Defense, said after a meeting of the defense ministers of the Visegrad Group countries.

“In September last year in Mińsk Mazowiecki, Poland, I had the pleasure and honor to approve the contract for the supply of FA-50 light combat aircraft. The first units are already being delivered to Poland. This is an extremely important moment for the Air Force. We dispose of post-Soviet aircraft, and from now on, Polish combat aviation will only use F-16 and FA-50 aircraft, and soon also F-35. These three types come from the same family of excellent and modern aircraft. This is a great asset when building an interoperable air defense system and a unified training system. Our pilots have already completed their first FA-50 training in the Republic of Korea and will soon be ready to smoothly transition to use the new type of equipment” – said Mariusz Błaszczak, minister of national defence during his visit to South Korea.

"Cooperation between Poland and South Korea is well advanced. The first tanks are already in Poland, the first K9 cannon howitzers are also already on the equipment of the 16th Mechanized Division. The FA-50 aircraft will also be provided to the Polish Army, replacing post-Soviet aircraft. Our efforts are focused on replacing post-Soviet equipment with modern one. Korean equipment is among the most modern. The Ministry of Defense has negotiated good prices for this equipment. Now, it is a matter of getting the Bank of National Economy [Polish: Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego] to fill the financial plans with content. As a result, we have a state-of-the-art equipment that goes and will be equipped to the Polish Armed Forces" said Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of National Defense, during his visit to South Korea.

"During the meeting, we discussed our bilateral cooperation and joint military exercises. We are obviously interested particularly in defense and deterrence in the northeastern part of Poland and ensuring security of the Suwałki Isthmus, which connects our countries. We are interested in cooperation in other formats as well. (...) I thank greatly for this close Polish-Lithuanian partnership and for the minister's presence in Poland. Our consultations play an important role prior to the NATO summit that is to be held in Vilnius in July." - Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said after the conclusion of the 4th Polish-Lithuanian Council of Defense Ministers.
