The Amount of Aid Poland Has Sent to Ukraine — Details
According to the head of the defense department, the decision to begin the process of declassifying data on the transfer of military equipment to Ukraine was made following his conversation with Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
“Regarding equipment and ammunition in 2022–2023, various types of military hardware were transferred,” Kosiniak-Kamysz stated.
He specified that during the 2022–2023 period, the previous Polish government directed approximately 15 billion zlotys, which is about 3.4 billion euros, in armaments to Kyiv.
Concurrently, the current Polish government, which took office in late December 2023, has allocated 1.55 billion zlotys—approximately 350 million euros—in military support during its term. Among the assets that Warsaw has transferred to the Ukrainian side since 2024, the head of the Ministry of Defense officially named, for the first time, PAC-3 missiles for Patriot air defense systems, among others.
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized that continued military and material assistance to Ukraine remains a strategic priority for Poland.
**Scandal Surrounding Patriot Missiles for Ukraine from Poland — Latest News**
We remind you that recently, discussions in Poland emerged regarding the potential secret transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine. This was stated by the Vice-Marshal of the Polish Sejm, Krzysztof Bosak. He labeled it a serious breach, as these missiles are needed by Poland itself for its own air defense.
Subsequently, the Polish Ministry of Defense agreed to declassify information concerning all military aid to Ukraine after it became known that the government might have secretly transferred Patriot missiles to Kyiv without parliamentary knowledge. However, President Karol Nawrocki opposed the disclosure of this data.
Additionally, Donald Tusk urged Polish politicians to cease disputes over aid to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
