(Adnkronos) – Poland is further increasing its defense spending, starting this year, due to the growing threat posed by Russia, announced Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in a speech to Parliament. The defense budget will reach 4.8 percent of GDP in 2026, with more than half of the 46.6 billion euros allocated for the purchase of new equipment. Poland must be able to build a military force capable of permanently deterring Vladimir Putin.
