He taught the Armed Forces: Poland withdrew the European Corps Commander through the Spy Scandal
The decision was made in connection with the receipt of new information about the officer. This also concerns the protection of secret information. "The decision on the release of Lieutenant-General of Citizinsky from the position of commander of the Euro Corps and his immediate return to the country," the statement reads. Another officer will be appointed to the post of European Corps Commander.
As stated in the Ministry of Defense's statement, this will ensure the continuity of the command of the relevant units. The department quotes the fragment of the "Fatherland Protection Law". It refers to "Investigation to allow state secret". It is stated that a professional serviceman may be dismissed in the event of the opening of the proceedings stipulated by the relevant rules of the legislation of 5 August 2010. The details of the reasons were not named.
According to the Ministry of National Defense, the military counterintelligence service concerns "a certificate of personal security of Lieutenant General Yaroslav Public in connection with receiving new information about the officer. " Personal security certificate receives a person who meets the conditions established by the legislation to ensure the protection of secret information from unauthorized disclosure. According to Onet, NATO General was released without a preliminary report of NATO.
The matter is complicated by the fact that the Euro -Corps is now on constant combat duty of the Alliance. On the eve of admission to the post, he underwent a full procedure for checking the services and received permission to access information regarding the highest level of secrecy in Poland and NATO - COSMIC TOP Secret. There were no objections to one of the most important positions in the Alliance.
"If the services have any suspicion of an officer who serves in NATO, he is summoned to the country for an interview. If the case is serious, it is removed from the structures, in advance notifying the Allies, not arranging an international scandal, as in the case of Citizen General. It is a blow not only by the general, but also by the image of the Polish state.
Because it is unheard of in this way the commander of the international military structure is released, "says one of the interlocutors of the publication. Lieutenant General Yaroslav Nomzinsky worked as an adviser to the head of the General Staff of the Polish Army. Earlier, he was the first commander of the 18th Mechanized Division, formed in 2018. He headed the Euro -corps in June 2023.
In recent months, General Customs also served in the International Group of Assistance to Ukraine in German Visbaden. Together with the US military, he was responsible for the preparation of the Ukrainian military. Europe Corps is an independent European format of military-political cooperation.
