Poland Allocates $26 Billion to Strengthen Civil Protection

Poland’s government announced Tuesday that it would allocate $26 billion to bolster the country’s civil protection system.

The funding is intended for the next four years, setting out a multiyear commitment to improving civilian protection.

The decision comes amid security concerns linked to Russia, which form the backdrop to the government’s planned investment.

The allocation places civil protection at the centre of a major funding effort as Poland seeks to reinforce its preparedness.
