**Polish Chief of Staff: “War Against Poland Is Being Prepared” – Fact Check**
Polish Chief of Staff, **General Wiesław Kukuła**, has publicly stated that potential adversaries have begun preparations for war against Poland. However, his statements do **not** indicate that a full-scale war has already started. Instead, he refers to a **pre-war situation** or **hybrid threats** that could destabilise the country and undermine public trust in institutions.
Key points:
Kukuła warned that Poland should prepare for a **full-scale conflict**, primarily from **Russia**, rather than another state actor.
He emphasised that current activities are preparatory and preventive, rather than active hostilities.
The Chief of Staff highlighted potential threats like sabotage, misinformation, and hybrid warfare aimed at weakening national security.
**Conclusion:**
Statements by the Polish Chief of Staff confirm **preparations for possible aggression** against Poland.
There is **no ongoing war** at the moment; references are to potential threats and pre-war readiness.
The focus is on **Russia as the main threat**, not any other country.

#PodhaleRifles or Podhale Riflemen (Polish: Strzelcy podhalańscy, nicknamed "Podhalańczycy") is the traditional name of the mountain infantry units of the #PolishArmy. Formed in 1918 out of volunteers of the region of Podhale, in 1919 the smaller detachments of Podhale Rifles were pressed into two mountain infantry divisions, the #21stMountainInfantry and #22ndMountainInfantryDivisions, as well as into three brigades of mountain infantry and were considered #elite units of the Polish Army.
