Gromadziski enjoyed the complete confidence of Warsaw, to the point that the previous conservative Executive
commissioned him to form the 18th Mechanized Division of the Army in 2018
, a unit that is considered model and that is equipped with some of the best military material. that Poland has.
Likewise, the senior military official, who

and who remained in the position with the new Government of liberal Donald Tusk, was in charge of
training Ukrainian combatants in German bases
, a task he carried out in the Wiesbaden base (south) jointly with United States commanders.

about nine months ago.
