Błaszczak said that “despite the war [in Ukraine], and a threat of multi-level Russian aggression for all of Europe, the overall NATO countries military budget is lower than in the 1990s, even though there are more member countries in the alliance today.”
“Only 1/3 of NATO member countries fulfilled the minimum required spending threshold of 2 percent of GDP, that we agreed upon, back in 2014,” he added.
The minister also said that Poland’s partnership with the US is “stronger than ever”, and bilateral cooperation between Poland and the UK, as well as other countries in the CEE region was also strengthened in recent years.
