Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland and the Poles have provided Ukraine and the Ukrainians with PLN 35-40 billion ($8-9 billion) in aid, Deputy Chairman of the Polish Development Fund (PFR) Bartosz Marczuk has said on Twitter.
He said that approximately PLN 10 billion (about $2.3 billion) had been provided in weapons and another PLN 10 billion (about $2.3 billion) was assistance from ordinary Poles.
In addition, PLN 6 billion (about $1.4 billion) was allocated from Poland’s budget to help Ukrainians, and aid from local self-government bodies and non-governmental organizations amounted to about PLN 10 billion ($2.3 billion).
Russia has been conducting a full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine since February 24.
Poland is among the countries that provide the most assistance to Ukraine during the war. Poland is also the main logistical hub for providing aid to Ukraine. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
