August 15th marks the anniversary of Poland's victory in the Battle of Warsaw in 1920. On this day, Poland celebrates Polish Army Day. Traditionally, the culmination of the celebrations is a military parade involving approximately 4,000 soldiers and 300 pieces of equipment.
This year, for the first time, the land and air parade was supplemented by Navy ships. A parallel naval parade was held on the Baltic Sea, near the Hel (yes, Hel - pronounced "hell") Peninsula.
The parade is attended by the most important representatives of the authorities, headed by the President of the Republic of Poland.
In his speech, President Nawrocki stated: I will strive to make us the strongest NATO army in Europe.
"Russia is not invincible. The heroes of 1920 said this, and I want our officers and soldiers to hear it today," said President Karol Nawrocki to the Polish Army officers gathered for the parade.
On Wednesday, President Nawrocki, during a video conference, addressed President Donald Trump, saying: "President Trump, stop the Bolsheviks on August 15, 2025, just like Poland, with the participation of soldiers from Ukraine, did on August 15, 1920!"
