Details

Hanna Pevkur emphasized that ammunition is crucial in a war of attrition

As countries in NATO's eastern wing, we share a common understanding of the potential threat, defense and support needs of Ukraine. We discussed with Minister Kosiniak-Kamisz the possibilities of implementing the one million rounds initiative promised to Ukraine and how best to use the next informal meeting of European Union Defense Ministers to do so. In a war of attrition, ammunition is crucial - everyone must keep their promises

Pevkur said.

It is noted that under the leadership of the previous government, Poland significantly increased defense spending and organized large-scale defense procurement. In 2023, Poland spent 3.9% of GDP on defense, and now in 2024 it will increase to 4.2%, or more than $38 billion.

Poland has provided Ukraine with military assistance worth more than 4 billion euros, which is 0.68% of Poland's gross domestic product.

Addendum

The new Polish government started working on December 13. Minister Władysław Kosińiak-Kamysz is the head of the coalition Polish People's Party.
