Poland has announced plans to significantly increase its defense budget to 5% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025, a move disclosed by Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
This decision marks a substantial rise from the current spending level of over 4%, positioning Poland as the NATO member with the highest percentage of GDP allocated to defense. The increase in defense spending is a direct response to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, notably Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
By committing to this historic budget allocation, Poland aims to bolster its military capabilities amidst growing security concerns.
