Andrzej Duda commented on the issues of transferring weapons to Ukraine. The Polish president said that there was no talk about the transfer of new equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This is how the Polish president once again commented on the statement of the Polish prime minister. It should be noted that Mateusz Morawiecki stated that as of September 2023, Poland stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine.

What is the condition for the transfer of weapons to Ukraine

After speaking at the UN Security Council, Andrzej Duda in an interview namedthe condition for the supply of weapons to Ukraine. He once again said that “he interpreted the words of the head of government Morawiecki differently.” In particular, they talk about replacing weapons in Poland.

When old equipment is replaced with modern equipment, I send it to Ukrainians without any problems. You shouldn't draw too far-reaching conclusions. We must control our emotions because we remember who will benefit more if Poland and Ukraine go their separate ways. The consequences could be tragic, the Polish president said.

Duda added that there is “no question” of transferring to Ukraine any new equipment that Poland is currently purchasing, such as K2 artillery howitzers or K9 tanks .

“This equipment should serve to strengthen the Polish army. We are not spending billions to suddenly give them away,” said the President of Poland.

What preceded this

• On September 20, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that as of September 2023, Poland had stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine. The politician said: “Ukraine is defending itself from a brutal attack by Russia, and I understand this situation, but we will defend our country. We are no longer transferring weapons to Ukraine because we are arming Poland.”
• Subsequently, Polish President Andrzej Duda said that the Prime Minister's words were misunderstood. They say that Morawiecki implied that Poland would not transfer new weapons to Ukraine, which it is currently purchasing as part of the modernization of the Polish army. Nevertheless, Warsaw fulfills the terms of the signed contracts. In particular, regarding the delivery of Krab howitzers.
• The Polish government, against the backdrop of these statements, assured that Warsaw continues to implement the largest contract for the transfer of weapons to Ukraine. We are talking about the supply of Krab howitzers. Also, an “international assistance hub” continues to operate in Poland. Read more about this at the link.
