Poland intends to further increase its defence spending this year amid growing concerns over Russia, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said in a policy address to parliament on Thursday.
Defence expenditure is set to reach 4.8% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2026, with more than half of the planned €46.6 billion ($55 billion) earmarked for new equipment purchases.
Poland must build an armed force capable of permanently deterring Russian President Vladimir Putin, Sikorski said.
The EU and NATO member had allocated 4.7% of its economic output to defence in 2025, placing it among the alliance’s highest spenders.
In June, NATO agreed that member states should invest at least 3.5% of GDP in core defence spending, with a further 1.5% earmarked for defence-related areas such as infrastructure.
The aim is to raise total annual spending on defence and security to 5% of GDP by 2035 – levels not seen since the Cold War.
By comparison, Poland neighbour Germany plans to increase defence spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2029.
The Slavic countries remember well the Russia Of Stalin and the Warsaw Pact era. Its interesting, the edomites have made removing and crushing monarchies and kingdoms like the Czar of Russia one of their primary objectives. The prefer democracy which they have easily manipulated throughout the centuries. I find that very interesting!
From what I can see what YouTubers provide, Poland looks like an Israelite’s paradise. The same goes with Hungary and the Czech Republic. These countries seem to be currently governed by evil right wing nationalists. At least, that’s what the Edomite Cain media say.
