Poland's Shift in Arms Policy Raises Concerns for Ukraine

Poland has announced that it will no longer be transferring weapons to Ukraine, sparking concerns about strained ties between the two nations. The decision comes after Poland imposed a ban on Ukrainian grain imports to protect its farmers from cheap imports. However, Polish officials clarified that they will continue to fulfill their current commitments to deliver weapons to Ukraine. The announcement by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is seen as part of the country's upcoming general election campaign and its focus on replenishing its own weapon stocks. Despite the decision, Poland remains an important transit country for Western countries sending weapons to Ukraine, and the EU's support for Ukraine remains firm.
