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.

I admit I only glossed over what our national news outlets have written this morning, but if that's actually the primary cause of this thing this isn't much of a drama.

I think it's cause people are reporting it as "Poland stops arms deliveries to Ukraine amid grain spat" So it looks like the reason is due to the grain spat at first glance. But Poland is saying the reason is because they've sent most of what they have to Ukraine already and are now replenishing their military with modern stock.
