The Polish Special Forces in Ukraine Already Has a Name and a Contact Box The interest is high

On February 16, we reported in Onet that the first Polish special unit was being formed in Ukraine The meeting at which the details of its creation were agreed took place in Kiev.

It was attended by the unnamed Polish organizer of the unit, several Polish volunteers already fighting in Ukraine, a representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the commander and chief of staff of a similar Russian unit fighting on the side of Ukraine RDK (Russian Volunteer Corps) During the meeting, it was agreed that the Polish unit would be subordinated to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and would perform reconnaissance and sabotage tasks, although typical front-line tasks are also possible.

The rest of the article can be found under the video material Two units of this profile are already operating in Ukraine - the Russian RDK and the Belarusian BDK (Belarusian Volunteer Corps) - and Polish and German units are being created The Polish unit will follow the example of the most experienced Russian RDK.

The Russians present at the meeting declared full cooperation with the Poles Initially, the Polish unit was to be called the Polish Volunteer Legion.

However, after consultations with the Ukrainian side, it was decided to standardize its name on the model of already existing formations Therefore, the unit will be officially called the Polish Volunteer Corps [from Ukrainian: Polskij Dobrowolcij Corps, PDK].

There is also a contact box for candidates They can call the phone numbers +380962974394 on the Signal messenger and +380962975784 on the WhatsApp messenger.

The unit has also created a channel on Telegram called "Polish Volunteer Corps", which will inform about its activities The core of the Polish unit is made up of people with combat experience who have already fought in other armed formations in the war with Russia, such as the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine or the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Among them are specialists in the field of reconnaissance, snipers, operators of hand-held rocket launchers and machine guns We are currently recruiting more people.

The organizer of the unit informed us that since the announcement of the formation of the unit, intensive work has been underway to bring it to combat readiness as soon as possible He says there's a lot of interest.

Despite the lack of a contact box, candidates began to contact us through grassroots acquaintances in the environment A dozen or so of them have already passed the initial verification and their documents have been sent to the relevant Ukrainian services for verification.

Everything is happening faster than I expected The new candidates include: a combat medic, another machine gun operator and sniper, a communications man, and two ex-soldiers who are CQB [Close Quarters Battle] instructors.

The unit conducts a multi-stage verification The initial one is handled by military professionals, e.

G There Were Polish "specialists"

It is only at one of the subsequent stages that the candidates hold talks with the Polish organizer of the unit After this conversation, the documents of the selected persons are sent to the Ukrainian services, which subject them to their own verification.

Each positively verified volunteer will sign a contact with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine In addition to candidates for the unit, we are also approached by people offering sponsorship, equipment or instructor support.

Only in recent days the unit has been equipped with two cars, its organizer informed us A group of British paramedics who want to join the Polish unit has also applied.

Currently, talks are underway as to whether the British could participate in the Polish initiative on an exceptional basis Special units based on uniform nationalities are another proposal of the Ukrainian army for foreign volunteers after typical front-line formations within the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine.

They will function not only at a higher level of specialization, but also avoid some problems, faced by the soldiers of the international legion, such as communication or cultural difficulties within the same platoons National special units, such as the Russian RDK or the Belarusian BDK, have been conducting specialized combat operations for several months and are highly appreciated by the Ukrainian army.

The Polish organizer conducts the selection at a high level, so that the Polish unit can match the Russian and Belarusian ones in terms of the effectiveness of the tasks performed .
