Poland is refusing to slow its military buildup despite a widening budget deficit and rising public debt. Prime Minister Donald Tusk says Warsaw will spend around $55 billion on defence in 2026, equivalent to roughly 4.8 percent of GDP, as security concerns keep military investment at record levels. The IMF says Poland already has NATO's highest defence spending as a share of GDP, while the European Commission expects public debt to climb sharply through 2027. With Warsaw determined to keep rearming, how much economic strain can Poland absorb to prepare for the Russian threat?
