Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on Wednesday that the country will cease providing weapons to Ukraine. This decision came shortly after Warsaw summoned Ukraine’s ambassador, amid a dispute over grain exports.

Instead of sending weapons to Ukraine, Poland, which has been a staunch ally since Russia invaded in February 2022, will focus on arming itself, the prime minister said.
