“Now we are signing one of the largest arms contracts in the last three decades — the sale of weapons to Ukrainians in Ukraine. This weapon is well-tested, and today we know that it will be very important on the battlefield.”

Polish Deputy Prime Minister Sasin also noted that the contract was a record for Poland — it costs more than 2.7 billion zlotys. Thatʼs about $650 million. He noted that Ukraine would receive funds for the purchase of these weapons partly from the EU and partly from its budget.

This contract includes Krab self-propelled howitzers. According to Prime Minister’s Office, artillery plays a key role in Russia’s war against Ukraine. Therefore, Poland will rely on the development of artillery.

Earlier, it was known, that Ukraine and Poland would set up a joint venture to produce weapons and military equipment.
