Poland is no longer sending weapons to Ukraine, the Polish prime minister said on Wednesday.
The announcement came as Polish-Ukrainian relations come under strain owing to the extension of a ban by Warsaw on Ukrainian grain over concerns large quantities of it will hurt Polish farmers.
The spat, which has even resulted in the Ukrainian ambassador to Warsaw receiving an official summons to the Polish Foreign Ministry for a formal ticking off, has added grist to the generally warm relations between the two countries.
Speaking on private TV channel Polsat News, Mateusz Morawiecki said Poland was helping in the victory over the “Russian barbarian” but could not agree to any destablisation of the Polish market by Ukrainian grain imports.
“Of course we will maintain the transit of Ukrainian goods,” he said. “Poland does not bear any costs due to that. On the contrary, it could be said that we earn from it.”
