Warsaw has delivered large volumes of weapons and gear to Kyiv, but also pushed for Ukraine\u2019s future accession to the alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, on Feb. 12, two days before Hegseth\u2019s talks in Warsaw, Kosiniak-Kamysz conceded during a press conference in Brussels that, as Washington opposes inviting Ukraine to join NATO, \u201cthere will be no such invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Warsaw, Hegseth praised Poland for continuing to raise its defense spending, saying the country was \u201cleading by example on a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do want to emphasize that it\u2019s quite intentional that our first European bilateral is right here, in Poland. The symbolism is not lost. In fact, it is intentional,\u201d Hegseth said at a joint press conference with Kosiniak-Kamysz. \u201cWe see Poland as the model ally on the continent, willing to invest not just in their defense, but in our shared defense, and the defense of the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, the Polish government plans to spend a total of PLN 186.6 billion ($47.1 billion) on the country\u2019s military. This would represent an increase of PLN 27.8 billion compared with a year earlier, according to data released by the Polish Ministry of National Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEurope must spend more to protect its territory better. The United States wants to cooperate, and the United States will do everything possible for the alliance to be stronger. But Europe also must demonstrate its contribution,\u201d Kosiniak-Kamysz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deputy prime minister also said his country is preparing \u201cfurther acquisitions in the United States\u201d for its military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe also want to develop the cooperation of our defense industries, we also talked about that. Investments in joint ventures, Polish-American investments to increase the capabilities for our production, especially the capacity to produce ammunition,\u201d Kosiniak-Kamysz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Polish official gave a nod to his country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2024\/11\/29\/poland-readies-740-million-fund-to-jump-start-ammunition-production\/\">new fund<\/a> of around PLN 3 billion ($758 million) to support investments by domestic and foreign players in expanding the country\u2019s ammunition manufacturing capacities, with a particular focus on 155 mm artillery shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hegseth replied that Washington is looking for additional ways to intensify the U.S. defense industry\u2019s cooperation with Poland, and mentioned a number of major defense contracts Poland has awarded to the U.S. over the past years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cApaches, F-35s, HIMARS, Patriots, you name it. The more you have, the stronger we are,\u201d he said. \u201cThe more we can cooperate with those systems, the more interoperable our capabilities are, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re looking for new ways to partner. You mentioned joint ventures, strategic partnerships. We are open\u201d to such cooperation, Hegseth said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Duda\u2019s meeting with Hegseth on the same day, the Polish president\u2019s office released a statement in which it said local officials are looking forward to the forthcoming visit by retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, President Trump\u2019s special envoy for the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kellogg is expected to visit Poland to discuss \u201cthe beginning of serious talks on stopping Russian aggression against Ukraine,\u201d Duda was quoted in the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth praised Poland for
