LONDON, November 13. /TASS/. Poland will no longer make contributions to the NATO program that coordinates the pooling of funds from allies to buy US-made weapons for Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters on Friday.

"I have told [NATO] secretary general [Mark Rutte] that for the time being we will not make donations to the PURL initiative - European money for American weapons for Ukraine," Tusk said at a news conference broadcast by TVP Info. The Polish head of government pointed out that the country had a large budget deficit, much of it due to defense spending.
