Duda:

We're Spending Huge Sums on Defense. I'd Gladly Spend Them on Education, Culture, Science, But Where Will Our Education, Science, and Culture Be If Russia Is Here?

- Today, yes, we are spending huge sums of money on defense. We have made and continue to make these decisions with full awareness, knowing, of course, that this money could be spent on something else. And I would very gladly spend it, as the President of the Republic of Poland, on education, on culture, on science, but where will our education, our science, and our culture be if Russia returns here - said President Andrzej Duda in Mława. - Never again Russian order here, never again the 'Russian World' here, we don't want it, we have our own culture, our own faith - he continued.
