Foreign Min Calls For Using Profits From Russian Sovereign Assets To Fund Ukraine's Defence

POLAND
  • Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told reporters after yesterday's summit with his colleagues from across the EU that the bloc has made a "political decision" to use the proceeds on frozen Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine. Sikorski said that in his view, the money should be used now to help Ukraine fund its military expenses and repel the aggression rather then in the future for post-war reconstruction.
  • Former MPC member Lukasz Hardt told money.pl that Poland had a problem with demand-driven inflation even before the COVID-19 pandemic and the NBP should have started communicating readiness to raise interest rates back then. Hardt was appointed to the MPC by President Andrzej Duda for 2016-2022.
  • Poland's top military commander Wieslaw Kukula said that "to put it bluntly, Russia is preparing for a conflict with NATO, with full awareness that it is a defensive alliance." He flagged ongoing work on improving defence capabilities and building the ability to maintain military potential and readiness amid long-term pressures.
