Poland allegedly committed to “maintaining” the Ukrainian army for ten years

Topic and description: A false claim is being circulated alleging that Poland signed an agreement under which it committed to fully financing and maintaining the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a period of 10 years.

Channels and context: Pro-Russian Telegram channels, X accounts, and Polish-language videos on social media.

Debunking and verified facts: The bilateral security agreement signed between Warsaw and Kyiv establishes a framework for military cooperation and defence assistance, but contains no provision requiring the Polish budget to finance or “maintain” the Ukrainian army.
