Poland plans to spend 5% of the country’s GDP on defense next year, and possibly this year, Radio Liberty reported on Friday, citing Poland’s Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk.
“This is a huge amount of money that is spent not by the government, but by Polish citizens,” he said.
The deputy minister added that the government wants to create conditions “for every Pole and every Polish woman to be able to undergo military training.”
“It is in the country’s interest that everyone can undergo such training, and it doesn’t matter if it lasts one day, two days or a week, or if it is basic voluntary military service, but the country must create such conditions,” Tomczyk added.
