Font size

Poland is planning record spending on military equipment, including purchases financed by the EU SAFE program, but - according to media reports - there is no money for appropriate warehouses, hangars and other facilities necessary for its storage. Could it turn out that we will buy modern weapons, but we will not have a place to store them safely? Who is responsible for planning these investments and where to get the additional billions of zlotys? And will we be able to build the infrastructure before the new equipment reaches Poland?

We will also ask about the reports regarding the March meeting between Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and Donald Trump. Information appeared in the public space that the American president was proposing the possibility of changing the government in Warsaw. What actually happened during the talks and were there any signals that could raise concerns about Polish-American relations? How should these reports be assessed from the point of view of Poland's security and military cooperation with the US?

We will also talk about the future of the Polish Armaments Group and the possible involvement of other State Treasury companies in the development of the national defense industry. Could Orlen take over some of PGZ's assets or invest in its development? At what stage is the group valuation and organizing its ownership structure? And can Poland use record defense spending not only to purchase foreign weapons, but also to build a strong, competitive arms industry?

We invite you to Magdalena Sakowska's interview at 18:02 to RMF FM, online Radio RMF24, to the RMF24.pl website and to our social media.

Open Questions

  • Are there real threats to Polish-American relations?
  • What is Orlen's role in the future of PGZ?
