WARSAW — Poland’s government estimates the financial cost of World War II losses at $1.3 trillion and says it will “ask Germany to negotiate these reparations.”

“It is a major sum of 6.2 trillion” zloty, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, head of the ruling Law and Justice party, says at a conference, adding that receiving reparations would be a “long and difficult” process.
