Polish authorities stopped the supply of weapons and military equipment for the armed forces of Ukraine. The head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki, spoke about this on Wednesday, September 20.
As the politician said on the Polsat TV channel, Warsaw is no longer moving any weapons to Kyiv, because Poland itself needs to actively arm itself.
< p>The head of the Polish cabinet explained that he followed the principle “If you don't want to defend yourself, you must have something to defend yourself.”
