On Tuesday in Jarocin, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Bogdan Klich attended the funeral of Captain Daniel Ambroziński, who was killed on August 10 during a shoot-out with Taliban forces in Afghanistan.

The representatives of the government arrived at the ceremony directly from a meeting, during which the decision was made to make more equipment available to Polish forces stationed in Afghanistan. By the end of this year, these troops are to receive new bullet-proof vests, GPS receivers, 60mm mortars and machine guns, as well as other equipment.

Meanwhile, by next year the army will be supported by new Mi-17 helicopters, drone planes and machine guns. The funds devoted for this purpose, around zł.1 billion, will come from the Defense Ministry's budget.
