“Poland will not be sending its troops to Ukraine. We urge everyone not to spread false information, as it harms everyone,” Szłapka said in an official statement released Tuesday by the government.
Polish government confirms no troop deployment
Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz reiterated on Wednesday that Poland will not send soldiers to Ukraine, emphasizing that the country has other priorities, including protecting NATO’s eastern flank and providing logistical and infrastructure support for a potential peacekeeping mission.
Speaking at a press conference in Mińsk Mazowiecki in central Poland, Kosiniak-Kamysz said the government’s position has been consistent for months and enjoys broad public support. He clarified that Poland’s refusal to deploy troops does not mean it is absent from international efforts to support Ukraine.

Poland focuses on NATO defense and logistical support
Poland’s priorities, he explained, include securing the Polish-Belarusian border, safeguarding NATO’s eastern flank, and supporting allied forces stationed in Poland. The country is also helping prepare infrastructure and logistics for a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
Kosiniak-Kamysz added that Poland’s role in these efforts is recognized and supported by NATO allies, including France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. Poland is actively participating in the “coalition of the willing,” a 33-nation group formed in March to coordinate comprehensive support for Ukraine.
