Polish authorities are trying their best to meet the needs that the Polish army has today - Andrzej Duda, the head of the armed forces, assured the soldiers. I am convinced that all politicians in Poland - both those who hold power today and those who are in opposition - understand that the most important thing is the common good - the Republic of Poland, of which the Polish army is a part - added the president.
