WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will review its Recovery and Resilience Plan with a view to redirecting funds towards defence and economic resilience, Polish Funds Minister Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz said on Tuesday.

The minister said last month that EU funds should be redirected from the EU recovery facility to security. The EU's recovery facility provides Poland with nearly 60 billion euros ($63.1 billion) in grants and cheap loans.
