Ukraine News. Poland mobilizes...

Thanks to John for the link!

Polish MoD specifies the fact that the proposition regarding the preparation service is targeted at the persons who are aged 18 to 50, and who have not been serving in the Armed Forces earlier. These persons would be volunteers. At the same time, members of the reserve forces may also report themselves for duty. They would be requested to take part in relevant training exercises.
Reserve soldiers (privates younger than 50 years old and non-commissioned officers and officers – up to 60 years old), who have no mobilisation assignment, will be assigned to a proper unit and will be asked to participate in a training programme, in line with their military speciality. Reserve soldiers who are duly assigned will be sent to their mother-units.
Wow.

John was kind enough to provide this link where I talked about this before. Many people wrote it off as propaganda because the source for the news was Russia Times.  Seems like its real enough.

What should surprise everyone is how wide a net they're casting.  The US and EU in general might not be taking the Ukrainian war seriously, but Poland is...dead serious.
