Poland Allocates $26 Billion to Strengthen Civil Protection

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

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

The announcement places civil protection at the centre of the spending commitment, though no breakdown of how the funds will be used was provided in the summary.
