| S.Peelman said: Apparently that is because they're having beef about grain exports from Ukraine to the EU, which threatens Poland's own exports to the rest of the EU and thereby their economy. This trade goes through Poland no less so they're facilitating their own competition. Long story short they don't want cheap Ukrainian grain flooding the EU. This back and forth argument has been going on for some time now though. |
It's not because of the grain situation although the grain situation is becoming an ugly public spat between Ukraine and Poland, in addition Poland's elections are coming up so PiS is doubling down on being shit and they were already pretty nationalistic shitheads so this argument between them and Ukraine is getting blown up.
The reason Poland claims that they've stopped deliveries, or in this case, Morawiecki claims, is because Poland have already given away most of their Soviet-era stuff to Ukraine and is now focusing on rearming itself by purchasing modern equipment and weapons from other countries such as the USA.
He made clear that the transit hub in Rzezsow will remain functional in consultation with the United States and NATO and all Western aid will still get into Ukraine through that on the same schedules. So basically, Poland simply doesn't have much else to give to Ukraine but the stop has happened amid this spat so now everyone is blaming it on the grain argument.
This grain situation isn't good though, Poland did say they wouldn't stop supporting Ukraine over something like grain but we'll see.
