Poland is the leader among Ukraine's allies in terms of heavy equipment donations. It has donated about 1,000 pieces of equipment, including more than 350 of the nearly 800 tanks that Ukraine has received from its partners.
In addition, Poland was the first to start massive supplies of heavy weapons, initiated the creation of a "tank coalition" and became the first country to provide combat aircraft to Ukraine.
Poland also remains the record holder in terms of spending on aid to Ukraine in relation to GDP: the amount of aid to support the Ukrainian Defence Forces and refugees is 4.91% of the country's gross domestic product.
