The head of President Andrzej Duda’s National Security Bureau (BBN), Dariusz Łukowski, has warned that Poland only has enough ammunition to defend itself “for a week or two” if it was attacked by Russia
But his remarks have been criticised as “outrageous” by a deputy defence minister, who says they are not true and will be exploited by Poland’s enemies.
Political infighting is the reason but this is likely true. Most countries of this size have reserves for weeks of conventional warfare at most unless they massively stockpile.
