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.

20.02.2026First 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.
