Poland stops sending weapons to Ukraine.
This is announced by the Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, according to the Polish News Agency PAP.
– We will equip our own defense with modern weapons, he says.
The reason is said to be the ongoing grain dispute between the countries.
Earlier in the day, Poland summoned Ukraine’s ambassador because of statements that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi made in his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
Zelenskyy said some countries are pretending to be in solidarity with Ukraine, prompting Poland to condemn comments that are “unfair to Poland, which has supported Ukraine since the first days of the war”.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has also warned that the list of banned Ukrainian products may become longer.
At the same time, Ukraine urges Poland to rethink.
“We urge our Polish friends to put their feelings aside. The Ukrainian side has offered Poland a constructive way to resolve the grain issue,” said Oleh Nikolenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
