Poland's Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski reaffirmed that defense remains the country's top budget priority, urging European Union nations to support a proposal allowing increased military spending without violating EU fiscal rules.
Amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, Poland has significantly modernized its military and increased arms purchases, allocating 4.7% of its GDP to defense in 2024—one of NATO's highest levels. "Defense spending defines all our other investments because they only make sense when Poland is secure," Domanski said in a radio interview.
Domanski also encouraged EU members to raise their defense budgets, emphasizing that Europe must take greater responsibility for its security in light of shifting U.S. foreign policy. His remarks follow Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s call for urgent adoption of new fiscal regulations to enhance European defense capabilities. Tusk also urged the EU to use frozen Russian assets to fund aid for Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron recently hosted discussions with European leaders on accelerating defense investments. Meanwhile, as former U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for diplomatic solutions to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Europe faces increasing pressure to bolster its own military readiness.
With Poland leading the charge on defense spending, the EU’s approach to security funding is poised to shift, potentially reshaping the bloc’s military strategy.
