Polish President Andrzej Duda assured on Thursday that the statement of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, made the day before, in which he said that Poland is no longer supplying arms to Ukraine, was misinterpreted, reports AFP.
“The words (of Mateusz Moravetskyi) were interpreted in the worst possible way. (…) In my opinion, the prime minister wanted to say that we will not transfer new weapons to Ukraine, which we are currently receiving “for the modernization of the Polish army”, Duda explained to the TVN24 channel.
“We are no longer transferring any kind of weapons to Ukraine,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday evening on the air of the private TV station Polsat News, AFP writes last night, Agerpres reports.
“Mostly, we are focused on rapidly modernizing and arming the Polish army so that it becomes one of the strongest land armies in Europe, and in a very short time,” he explained.
The prime minister did not say when Poland, one of Ukraine’s biggest arms suppliers, stopped supplying them, or whether it was related to the conflict over Ukrainian grain, when Warsaw banned its imports to protect the interests of its farmers.
He stated this a few hours after the “emergency” summons of the Ukrainian ambassador by Warsaw as a sign of protest against President Volodymyr Zelensky’s comments at the UN.

On Tuesday, the Ukrainian president criticized the fact that “some countries declare solidarity (with Ukraine), indirectly supporting Russia.”
The deputy foreign minister of Poland, who received the Ukrainian diplomat, condemned this “false thesis” and “especially unjustified in relation to Poland, which has supported Ukraine since the first days of the war.”
Brussels’ announcement on Friday that it was lifting a ban on Ukrainian grain imports imposed in more than five EU countries fueled tempers, prompting a unilateral embargo, to which Kyiv responded on Monday by announcing it would file a complaint with the World Organization trade
