- Today Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa has signed agreements of cooperation with Estonian firms, especially regarding the development of drone and anti-drone capabilities. Estonia is a leader in emerging technologies, IT, implementation and experience in this regard, and we want to benefit from that. We have our own plans, our own proposals. We are building the fourth layer of air defence. We also want to share our experience. We have been discussing joint exercises that will take place this year. That invitation has already been accepted by our Estonian partners. We are happy to exercise, train, increase capabilities together - said the Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Defence, W. Kosiniak-Kamysz.

We have discussed cooperation in the fields of defence, defence industry development and joint training. We have especially focused on advancing cyberdefence capabilities. This is the domain that evolves the most rapidly. Switzerland is a neutral country, but it also has an extremely interesting reservist training and civil defence system - said the Deputy Prime Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz after meeting the head of the Swiss Department of Defence.

The new security architecture on the Baltic Sea is based on the Polish-Swedish alliance: building shared capabilities, joint procurement, cooperation and training. We have a great future with Sweden ahead of us. We will develop all those capabilities and skills. We will invest together in the defence industry and build the new security architecture in the Baltic Sea - said the Deputy Prime Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the meeting with the Minister of Defence of Sweden.

- The first forum and dialogue of the defence industry and the military, jointly organized here in Bratislava, consists of 30 companies and over a hundred participants. It is an important step, as for the last two years we have been intensely working on bringing these companies closer, so that both the public and private sector explored each other's capabilities and expertise. Today we have discussed several projects at the bilateral meeting, concerning both the supply of ammunition and the BORSUK and BAOBAB, the mine-laying vehicle - very important in the context of Poland's exit from the Ottawa Treaty. The cooperation in the anti-drone projects is also very important. We have devoted a large part of our meeting to them. Poland introduces the SAN system - multiple sensors, multiple effectors, reconnaissance, imagining, and then affecting targets, both electronic and especially kinetic, using multiple types of arms: machine guns and cannons presented in Poland - noted the Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the conference in Bratislava.

On 2 March 2026, in the White House, President Donald Trump awarded the family of the late Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis, who died in Afghanistan saving the life of a Polish soldier, with the Medal of Honor.

First of all, we have all confirmed our allied relations and willingness to continue as the E5 Group: to support each other, pursue military and defence industry cooperation and fulfil the obligations undertaken in the Hague, including reaching 5% spending on defence. We have also confirmed the fulfilment of our Armed Forces' declared capabilities within the NATO programmes and national deterrence and defence systems. Our main task is to be strong enough that no one ever thins about attacking the countries of the European Union, including the E5 countries. We approach all obligations in a solidary manner. In Poland, the word "Solidarity” has a special meaning - it's a value that led us to freedom. Solidarity means two-way actions: helping those who need it, and supporting each other. We are giving support, but we also know that we can count on the support of our allies if the need arises. I am grateful for this declaration - stressed the deputy prime minister - minister of national defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, after the conclusion of the seventh meeting of the ministers of defence of the E5 Group.

- We see the response of the European Union, a response that Poland has given first - radically raising defence spending. I would like to remind you that in four years we have tripled our defence budget, from around 60 billion in 2022 to 200 billion this year. We are the foremost leader of growth. Every country fulfils the 2% obligation now. Much was accelerated, especially the vector of Polish security aimed at the Baltic Sea. What did the United States Secretary of War say? A very important thing, that we will never be alone. He appreciates what Poland is doing for security and investment in defence spending - said the deputy prime minister W. Kosiniak-Kamysz.

In 2024, the Defence Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, signed the European Long-range Strike Approach (ELSA) in order to: strengthen European military capabilities and improve NATO's deterrence and defence posture; speed up capability development for long-range strike; foster European industrial and armed forces collaboration.

- The SAFE programme is a Polish idea. Assuming EU presidency, Poland has clearly put defence and security first. This money is also for other European countries, who will make purchases in Poland - said the deputy prime minister, minister of national defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz during the opening of the conference on the implementation of the SAFE programme.
