The Council of Ministers adopted a draft law on Tuesday to ensure financing for activities aimed at increasing the production capacity of ammunition, reports Polish media outlet Business Insider. The draft, submitted by the minister of state assets, allocates PLN 3 billion (€690 million) to the cause, more than half of which will come from the Polish Ministry of National Defense.
The new regulations will enable the creation of a mechanism for financing the domestic arms industry to increase production potential for strategic ammunition.
“The war in Ukraine shows that long-range artillery and having adequate supplies of ammunition for them are key assets on the front. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the Polish army by expanding and diversifying the production base of large-caliber ammunition,” read a statement by Poland’s Government Information Center.
