波兰国防部长瓦迪斯瓦夫·科西尼亚克-卡米什周五在索波特的一个经济论坛上表示，如果其他北约成员国同意与其国防工业签订合同，波兰准备派遣更多军队以加强北约盟友的防御。
Poland is ready to send more troops to shore up NATO allies if those countries agree to sign contracts with its defense industry, Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
他表示，这种更具交易性质的向其他军事联盟成员提供支持的方式，旨在提升国内武器生产商的竞争力，并效仿美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府已经采取的做法。
The more transactional approach toward supporting other members of the military alliance is an attempt to boost domestic weapon producers and borrows a page from the playbook already adopted by the administration of President Donald Trump, the minister told an economic forum in Sopot on Friday.
科西尼亚克-卡米什说：“我们将向东翼的其他国家派遣更多士兵，但将效仿美国的例子，设定前提条件。”他还说：“我们也希望在这件事上拥有商业利益。”他的言论指的是波兰在和平时期向盟国部署的军队，而不是在成员国触发北约集体防御条款以应对攻击时，波兰被迫派遣的部队。
“We will be sending more soldiers to other countries on the eastern flank, but following the US example we will set conditions,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said. “We also want to have a business interest in this.”His remarks referred to Poland’s peacetime deployments to allied countries, not the forces that the country would be obliged to send in the event of a member state invoking NATO’s collective-defense clause in response to an attack.
目前，波兰军队已经驻扎在波罗的海国家、罗马尼亚和土耳其。随着华沙从主要接受北约安全保护的角色转变为其他成员国防御的贡献者，其海外部署正在增加。
Polish troops are already serving in the Baltic states, Romania and Turkey as Warsaw increasingly shifts from being primarily a recipient of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s security umbrella to a contributor to the defense of other members.
自2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰——波兰的东邻——以来，波兰已启动欧洲规模最大的军事建设之一。目前，华沙正将国内生产总值的近5%用于国防开支，并试图将重心从在包括美国和韩国在外的海外采购装备，转向培育本国国防工业。
The country has embarked on one of Europe’s biggest military buildups since Russia invaded Ukraine, its eastern neighbor, in 2022. Warsaw is currently spending nearly 5% of gross domestic product on defense and is trying to shift the focus from buying equipment abroad, in countries including the US and South Korea, to nurturing its domestic defense industry.
科西尼亚克-卡米什表示，政府已指令国有国防控股公司PGZ SA在地区安全形势恶化的背景下，最大限度提升其制造能力。
The government has instructed state-owned defense holding PGZ SA to maximize its manufacturing capacity as regional security deteriorates, Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
“波兰是一个非常有吸引力的国防市场，但波兰工业必须已经进入战时模式，”他说。“我们没有时间可浪费。”担任波兰副总理的科西尼亚克-卡米什还为波兰愿意大举举债以资助其军事建设进行了辩护，他认为，举债的成本优于未能遏制冲突的后果。“我宁愿偿还贷款，也不愿把年轻的波兰人送到前线，”他说。
“Poland is a very attractive defense market, but Polish industry must already work in wartime mode,” he said. “We have no time to lose.”Kosiniak-Kamysz, who serves as Poland’s deputy prime minister, also defended Poland’s willingness to borrow heavily to finance its military buildup, arguing that the cost of debt is preferable to the consequences of failing to deter a conflict. “I would rather repay loans than send young Poles to the front,” he said.
