(RFE/RL) --- Polish President Bronislaw
Komorowski has signed into law a new national defense strategy that addresses
an "intensifying policy of confrontation" by Russia and threats to regional security from the
conflict in Ukraine .
The 57-page
strategy document replaces a plan drawn up in 2007. The new plan involves
defense, political, and economic structures on all levels.
It says Russian has
become a negative factor for regional security because of the "rebuilding
of its power status at the expense of its surroundings" and Moscow ’s "intensifying policy of confrontation"
as shown by its seizure of the Crimea Peninsula from Ukraine .
Komorowski told
journalists in Warsaw on November 5 that
things have "changed for the worse to the east of Poland ’s
borders, where an area of instability has emerged."
He said
strengthening Poland ’s
defenses against the threats now posed by Russia also will contribute to
NATO's defense capabilities.
