Baltic security as a priority - cooperation between the Ministry of National Defense and the Naval Academy
Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has announced the establishment of a special team dedicated to Baltic security, which will operate in cooperation with the Naval Academy. The team will consist of experts in maritime strategy, defense, and threat analysis. This initiative represents another step towards strengthening regional security and responding to increasing geopolitical challenges.
In brief
Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced the creation of a Baltic Sea security team, which is to operate in cooperation with the Polish Naval Academy. The team is to include experts in maritime strategy, defence and threat analysis, and former head of the National Security Bureau Jacek Siewiera, named as a possible leader of the group, may take part. The experts' task will be to analyse crisis scenarios and hybrid threats and to prepare recommendations for the Polish Navy. Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called 2025 the year of the Polish Navy.
The Baltic Sea plays a crucial role in the security architecture of Central and Eastern Europe. Rising tensions, the modernization of regional naval fleets, and NATO’s increased presence make it necessary to develop a long-term maritime security strategy. Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized that high-ranking former officials, including former head of the National Security Bureau Jacek Siewiera, may participate in the team's work, with his experience being a valuable contribution to the new group's efforts.
The establishment of this team is a response to the need for a comprehensive approach to hybrid threats, non-kinetic operations, and potential provocations in the Baltic Sea. Experts will analyze crisis scenarios and recommend actions to enhance the response capabilities of the Polish Navy and its cooperation with allies.
The Ministry of National Defense’s initiative aligns with broader efforts to strengthen military presence in the Baltic region. The involvement of the academic community will be key, providing substantive support in the form of strategic analyses and defense scenarios.
Will the new team become a real tool for shaping Poland’s maritime policy? What specific recommendations will emerge? The coming months will provide answers, revealing the role this advisory unit will play in shaping Baltic security.
