About this listen
A post-Soviet basketcase in the 1990s, Poland is now arguably Russia’s greatest adversary in Nato.
Beginning with the annexation of Crimea in 2014, but accelerated by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Poland has super-charged its military to become the largest in Europe, with over 200,000 men under arms - more than twice as many as the UK.
As a proportion of national wealth, it now spends more on defence than even America. So how did this happen, what are the implications, and are there lessons to be learned for the UK?
