"Poland's Top Army Generals Resign in Pre-Election Upheaval"

Poland's Chief of General Staff, Gen Rajmund Andrzejczak, and Operational Commander Gen Tomasz Piotrowski have resigned ahead of the country's general elections and amid tensions with Ukraine. Media reports suggest concerns over the government's alleged politicization of the military, which the government denies. The resignation comes after a conflict with Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak over the politicization of the military and a controversy involving a Russian cruise missile entering Polish airspace. The election on Sunday is seen as crucial, with the right-wing United Right coalition seeking a third term in office, but facing a narrowing gap with the center.
