Poland's President Karol Nawrocki has taken a decisive step by vetoing the EU's proposed funding for defence through Safe loans.

Nawrocki's opposition is rooted in concerns that such financial arrangements would allow Brussels to exert influence over Poland's national security decisions.

This decision could have significant implications for Poland's defence infrastructure and its relationship with EU military initiatives.
