Poland has allocated the equivalent of 4.91 percent of its GDP to aid Ukraine, with 0.71 percent of GDP reserved for direct assistance to Kyiv and 4.2 percent devoted to the costs of supporting Ukrainian refugees. The President’s Chancellery highlighted these figures, underscoring the scale of Poland’s commitment across both security and humanitarian dimensions.
The Chancellery notes that Poland leads among nations in aid to Ukraine when measured as a share of GDP. It was among the first to provide heavy weapons on a large scale, and it has also taken in one of the highest numbers of Ukrainian refugees. The information was posted by the President’s Office on X.
Poland’s aid package, expressed as a percentage of national output, underscores Warsaw’s stance on Ukraine, combining direct aid with refugee support and substantial weaponry deliveries that have influenced regional security dynamics. The figures reflect a sustained political will to support Ukraine’s defense and the well-being of its displaced population.
Tanks, self-propelled guns and rocket launchers
The first batch of T-72 tanks was delivered to Ukraine by Poland in the first half of 2022, marking a decisive moment in security assistance. In addition to the tanks, Poland supplied more than 250 BWP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, 100 KTO Rosomak armored personnel carriers, 9 BRDM-2 reconnaissance vehicles, more than a hundred self-propelled guns, and more than 30 BM-21 Grad rocket launchers, according to the Polish Presidency’s communications on X and information published on the official website.
The KPRP notes these details in a series of posts on X and in information on its website.
The total value of the aid amounts to PLN 14 billion
In total, Poland’s military assistance to Ukraine is valued at 3.23 billion euros, which is more than 14 billion Polish zloty. Fourteen MiG-29 aircraft and twelve Mi-24 helicopters were transferred to the Ukrainian Air Force to strengthen its capabilities, a level of support that places Poland high among international contributors, only surpassed by the United States.
Beyond official deliveries, a broad segment of Polish society participated in refugee relief. A study by the Polish Economic Institute found that 77 percent of Poles were involved in helping refugees from Ukraine. It was also highlighted that Poland has the highest share of Ukrainian refugees who have entered the workforce, at 65 percent.
Overall, the record reflects a sustained, multifaceted response that spans military support, humanitarian aid, and social commitment to Ukraine during a period of ongoing crisis.
