The money is intended to support primarily arms producers from the EU and Ukraine itself. For Polish arms plants, this is a signal to intensify trade and diplomatic activities.
The government supports the offer offensive
Polish enterprises are not waiting on their hands. As confirmed by Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, government representative for the Instrument for Enhancing European Security, the bidding process is already underway.
“Our companies are already sending offers to partners in Kiev” – reveals a government representative in an interview with “Rzeczpospolita”.
The key to success is not only the quality of the equipment, but also effective lobbying at the state level. The EU financial mechanism rewards cooperation within the Community, which puts Poland in a privileged geographical and political position.

Private leaders ready to export
According to “Rzeczpospolita” the greatest hopes for profits are associated with the private sector, which is already firmly established in the Ukrainian market. One of the main players is the WB Group, known for the production of advanced unmanned systems.
“The WB Group, which supplies, among others, FlyEye drones and Warmate loitering ammunition, can increase exports if it receives political support. If Poland lobbies for Ukraine to buy our equipment, it will do so,” emphasizes Piotr Wojciechowski, president of the company.
In addition to drone manufacturers, the list of potential beneficiaries also includes other entities. Ponar Wadowice, which co-founds a company producing Bogdana gun howitzers with a Ukrainian partner, and Mista from Stalowa Wola, which supplies combat-proven Oncilla armored vehicles, may benefit.
What about the state giant?
Despite optimism in the private sector the situation of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) seems more complex. “Rzeczpospolita” notes that the state giant, despite previous successes, is experiencing a slight shortness of breath in contracts with Kiev.
Although the sale of the Krab howitzers was a spectacular success for the Polish arms industry and became a symbol of support for Ukraine, “no further large contracts were concluded.” Experts indicate that the coming months will be crucial for PGZ to regain momentum and effectively compete for funds from the new EU basket of EUR 90 billion. The stakes are for orders that may define the condition of the Polish defense industry in the coming years.
