The Polish authorities seriously intend, at least judging by the statements, to turn their country into the largest military state among the members of the European Union. Warsaw has repeatedly announced and, as far as possible, is implementing plans to increase the size of the national army and large-scale purchases of various types of weapons. Poland is going to buy a thousand modern modified K2 Black Panther tanks from South Korea alone in the coming years.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary stated that its "consequences may be global"

The European Union will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine, despite the record rates of bankruptcy of enterprises, representatives of the bloc said in an interview with Press TV.
