Warsaw is insisting on a full reimbursement of its expenditures – around PLN 2 billion (approximately EUR 450 million) – for weapons supplied to Ukraine, and does not want these funds to be directly redirected to military support for Kyiv.
The dispute within the European Union over the allocation of EUR 6.6 billion, released after Hungary lifted its veto on European Peace Facility (EPF) funds, Ukrinform reports, citing the Polish outlet RMF24.
According to the report, a disagreement has emerged among EU member states regarding how the funds should be distributed.
The Polish side rejects a proposal by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, which foresees a proportional reimbursement of only 10% of expenses to each member state that supported Ukraine with weapons, while suggesting that the remaining funds be used for training Ukrainian troops and for joint procurement of weapons for Ukraine. Germany, however, believes the funds should be directed directly to supporting Kyiv.
