    Implikacje kryzysu i konfliktu ukraińskiego 2013-2015 dla bezpieczeństwa Polski
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2015) Stolarczyk, Mieczysław
    The Ukraine crisis, which started at the end of November 2013 and in April 2015 turned into armed conflict in the east of Ukraine, had a negative impact on the geopolitical situation of Poland; it compromised Poland’s security and impaired the perception of security among the majority of Polish society. This article’s objective is to outline the direct implications of the crisis and conflict in Ukraine for the security of Poland. These implications include: destabilization of the international security with serious consequences for the security of Poland; an increased sense of threat from Russia in Polish society; increased efforts of Polish foreign and security policy-makers to strengthen military defense potential; reinforcement of NATO’s cohesion and its more active involvement in Polish and Central European security; enhanced cooperation between Poland and the United States in the field of military defense; and increased threats to the economic stability of Poland. Key words: security of Poland, Ukraine conflict, Poland-Russia relations, Poland-Ukraine relations, implications of the Ukraine conflict for the security of Poland

    Kiwis on the Eastern Front: The motivations of New Zealand veterans fighting for Ukraine
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2023) Wood, Aaron
    According to Oleksandr Kirichuk, Ukraine’s honorary consul in Auckland, by the first week of March 2022, over 500 New Zealanders had volunteered to fight in Ukraine against Russia. The exact number of New Zealand veterans fighting in Ukraine fluctuates on a weekly or even daily basis as NZ veterans are killed, wounded or simply decide they have done enough and return home. However, from interviews with veterans, it can be estimated that there are somewhere between 15–25 New Zealanders posted to front line combat units at any particular time. The motivations of New Zealand veterans fighting in Ukraine are complex and multifaceted, reflecting a unique blend of personal, political, and cultural factors. This article explores the underlying motivations of these New Zealand veterans to engage in a conflict far from home; delving into the various personal, social, and political factors that have influenced their decision to serve in Ukraine.

    Maritime episodes of the Russian ‘special operation’ against Ukraine
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2023) Mickiewicz, Piotr; Kasprzycki, Daniel D.
    Maritime operations during Russia’s ‘special operation’ against Ukraine were complementary to land operations. However, they played an important role in the process of isolating the country and limiting its export capabilities. Pointing to selected naval episodes and showing their political, operational, and tactical context, we indicated several features demonstrating the new dimension of naval force operations and the possibility of using missile armament and air weapons to effectively counter surface ship combat teams. The purpose of the study is to show the essential elements of the naval operations conducted as part of the ‘special operation’ against Ukraine, to identify its essential features and transformations in the use of combat potential.
