Poland Halts Weapons Supply to Ukraine Following Zelensky’s UN Speech
Poland halts weapons supply to Ukraine after President Zelensky criticized some nations' solidarity as 'feigned' in a UN speech. Poland, a long-time supporter, took exception. The dispute stems from Ukraine diverting grain exports through central Europe after Russia's invasion disrupted Black Sea routes, affecting local prices. The EU temporarily banned grain imports into five countries, lifting it on 15 September, but Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia extended their own bans. Ukraine filed a WTO lawsuit. Poland will focus on acquiring modern weapons for its own defense.
