He pointed to specific meetings of the Council of Ministers&#8217; Security Committee, held on February 10, February 17, and March 24, where representatives of the National Security Bureau (BBN) were allegedly briefed on the matter.<\/p>\n<h4>Presidential Rebuttal and Accountability<\/h4>\n<p>President Karol Nawrocki responded on social media, dismissing the Minister&#8217;s claims of consultation. The President stated that while he discusses various topics with government officials and NATO leadership, these conversations do not equate to formal agreements or shared decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Nawrocki challenged the Minister to own the government&#8217;s decisions, offering to initiate legislation to take full responsibility for future equipment donations.
