Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that due to high spending on its own defense, the country will not allocate funds for the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine under the PURL project for now, reports European Pravda.

According to Tusk, he informed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Poland would not participate in financing the PURL initiative for now.

“I told the Secretary General that for now we will not allocate funds to the PURL project, under which Europeans allocate money for American weapons for Ukraine, because we spend a lot on our own armaments,” Tusk said at a press briefing following an informal EU leaders' summit in Dublin.

“We have helped and continue to help Ukraine very seriously. We have a high deficit, we spend a lot on defense. Therefore, I reported that in terms of financial capabilities, Poland will no longer contribute money, because we have our own security-related expenses, which are probably among the highest in Europe,” the head of the Polish government added.

On October 30, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi confirmed information that Poland is preparing to transfer two Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.

In return, Ukraine agreed to provide Poland with anti-drone technologies.

On November 10, Ukraine and Poland signed an agreement to establish joint working groups on unmanned aerial vehicle technologies and countering drones.
