The era of large-scale deliveries: results of 2022-2023
Kosiniak-Kamysz emphasized that the lion’s share of the technical re-equipment of the Ukrainian army from Polish military reserves took place during the first two years of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
"As for equipment and ammunition in 2022-2023, various types of military equipment were transferred," the head of Poland’s Defense Ministry said.
The approximate total value of the transferred weapons amounted to 15 billion zlotys (equivalent to about 3.5 billion euros).
