A lot of things are weird about Poland finances. They buy very expensive military hardware in huge quantities, and now a nuclear plant? Were does the money come from? And were will the money for all the necessary maintenance come from in the future?

EU.

No, EU doesnt pay for their military purchases.

EU paid for some/most of old gear we send to Ukraine. Poland was the first to send tanks while Scholz was busy scaremongering about WW3 on TV and deleting armor from list delivered to UKR, over three hundred PT-91 modernized ex soviet ones + Leopard 2A4s instead of promises of some in 2024. We send jets before public declarations, we send ~100 modern AHS Krab artillery pieces, >50 Rak 120mm arty, 200 modern Rosomak APCs, 30 Oncilla APCs, 12 Mi-24 helicopters, some S-60 old soviet towed AA and 50 deathtrap BMP-1s (still better than civilian trucks). We didnt dig old decommissioned stuff out of museums or deep storage, it all came straight from active use in military units. Purchases you see announced are backfill for that equipment, we are out of stuff to send.

Scholz is a meme.

You might be surprised by the net inflow vs. outflow of funds, or where these EU funds go, not just a narrow EU statistic.

I am quite confident that by any measures Poland is a net beneficiary of EU; and as a citizen I am quite happy about that situation.
