Poland Halts Arms Supply to Ukraine Amid Grain Dispute

Poland has announced that it is no longer sending new arms to Ukraine, citing the need to focus on building up its own weapon stocks. The decision comes amid souring bilateral relations due to a grain dispute just weeks before a parliamentary election in Poland. While Poland will continue with previously agreed arms deliveries, the extension of the ban on Ukrainian grain imports has strained relations with Kyiv. Poland has been seen as a staunch ally of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, but this shift in stance may be a response to the rising popularity of the far-right Confederation party, which has voiced anti-Ukrainian sentiments.
