Poland will not allocate funds to NATO's PURL program, which provides for the purchase of US-made weapons for Ukraine, for the time being, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference, TVP Info reports.
"I informed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that we will not currently make a financial contribution to the PURL program – the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine using European funds," Tusk said.
The Prime Minister explained the decision by Poland's high budget deficit and expenditures on the country's defense.
Note that the PURL program provides for the purchase of weapons from the United States using funds from European countries within the framework of NATO and their delivery to Ukraine.
