Poland no longer wants to supply weapons to neighboring Ukraine. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced this on the private television channel Polsat News on Wednesday, according to the Polish news agency PAP. The background is the conflict between Poland and Ukraine over Ukrainian grain imports.
Poland supports the victory over the “Russian barbarian”, but cannot agree to the destabilization of the Polish market through Ukrainian grain imports, said Morawiecki. Poland had previously summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to the Foreign Ministry in Warsaw to protest once morest statements made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the UN General Assembly. The Ukrainian president had said that the “political theater” surrounding grain imports from Ukraine only benefited Russia.
Ukraine filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) once morest Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for banning imports of food from Ukraine. The three EU states had declared that they had to protect their own economies and their local farmers. Agricultural goods are one of Ukraine’s most important sources of income. Because of the war once morest Russia, Ukraine is trying to export more products overland instead of via the contested Black Sea.
