— Poland will no longer contribute to the NATO program for procuring American weapons for Ukraine, stated Donald Tusk. "I informed the [NATO] Secretary General [Mark Rutte] that we will not be making any contributions to the PURL program at this time – the European funds for American weapons for Ukraine," the Polish Prime Minister said at a press conference. He explained this decision by citing a high budget deficit and defense spending. Poland joined the PURL program at the end of 2023, allocating $100 million for the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine.
