(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, SEP 21 - Poland will no longer arm
Ukraine to focus on its own defence, the Polish prime minister
said on Wednesday, a few hours after Warsaw summoned Kyiv's
ambassador amid a row over grain exports. "We are no longer
transferring weapons to Ukraine, because we are now arming
Poland with more modern weapons," Mateusz Morawiecki said, in
response to a question from a reporter on whether Warsaw would
continue to support Kyiv despite the grain exports disagreement.
Poland has been one of Ukraine's staunchest supporters after
Russia invaded in February 2022 and is one of Kyiv's main
weapons suppliers. It also hosts some one million Ukrainian
refugees, who have benefited from various kinds of state aid.
Tensions between Warsaw and Kyiv, sparked by Poland's ban on
Ukrainian grain imports to protect the interests of its farmers,
have intensified in recent days. (ANSA-AFP).
