Poland, the EU’s New Heavyweight

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has triggered tectonic changes, some more visible than others. Poland seems well on its way to becoming the EU’s top military power, which almost makes it an EU heavyweight on par with traditional economic powerhouses Germany and France. Poland was already allocating 2.4% of its GDP on military spending even before the war in Ukraine began. It aims to up this to 4% in the near future, ranking it first amongst other NATO members.
