"During the EU Presidency, the Polish government must convince the countries ‘27’ that only by integrating arms production can win the arms race with Russia. Moscow has so developed the defence manufacture that it is adequate from 6 to 12 months to build an army with the possible of the Bundeswehr: the conclusions of the late published study of the prestigious Brussels institute Bruegel give an thought of the hard situation of the European Union at the threshold of the 4th year of the war in Ukraine. Poland has no illusions about this. If there is an area of EU policy in which the government formed after the election on October 15, 2023 decided to fundamentally change EU policy towards the PiS team, that is the defence. Donald Trump's election should be considered an chance in Europe. The chance to build a truly independent defence policy, although in close coordination with the United States_ argued on 26 November at the summit of the Nordic and Baltic (NBS) countries in Sweden and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Last March, the European Commission first published an EU defence strategy. During the first 100 days of the fresh year, Brussels, in agreement with Warsaw, intends to print a white paper on this basis, in which concrete actions will be set out towards the goal set by the head of the Polish government. The first step is to rise even more defence resources than before. Tusk points out that if you compare the Union's national income with Russia, the Kremlin becomes a dwarf. However, erstwhile switching the Russian economy to war tracks, Vladimir Putin caused more than a 3rd of the Russian state's budget to go into arms. This is about EUR 120 billion per year, but taking into account the differences in production costs - EUR 400 billion per Western price. It turns out that the construction of the Russian tank of the latest generation T-
90 is EUR 4 million, while EUR 29 million is needed for the emergence of German leopard 2A8."
