More than 11,000 people have applied to join Slovakia's defense forces, Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák announced. Of those applicants, over 2,000 have already completed training programs. The defense forces represent Slovakia's military reserve structure, designed to supplement the country's regular armed forces during times of need. The high level of interest comes as European nations strengthen their defense capabilities amid regional security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
