Quote from Müller: "One of the main topics of the talks was the purchase of Polish military equipment by the Ukrainian side, which is buying 150 Rosomak armoured vehicles, RAK self-propelled mortars for three companies, and 100 missiles for PIORUN man-portable air defence systems from Polish factories."

More details: The figures for RAK mortars announced by Müller mean that Ukraine will buy about 50 of them itself. They are made on the basis of the Rosomak armoured vehicle.

Background: Poland and Ukraine have signed memorandums of understanding on cooperation in the reconstruction of Ukraine and an agreement on cooperation in the joint production of 125 mm tank ammunition.
