Ukraine: Poland has sent weapons worth 1.5 billion euros

Poland has supplied Ukraine with 1.5 billion euros in weapons to help the country deal with the Russian invasion, Polish Prime Minister Matthias Morawiecki said on Saturday.

“To date, Poland has transferred to our eastern neighbor military equipment worth about 7 billion zlotys, or $ 1.6 billion,” Morawiecki said during a meeting in Krakow (south) with his Ukrainian counterpart. Dennis Smichal.

“This equipment saves the national sovereignty of Ukraine, Poland and Europe,” he said in a press release.

Since the start of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Polish government has announced that it has supplied the Ukrainian army with anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, mortars, ammunition, and UAVs.

Forty tanks and about sixty armored personnel carriers are also among the materials supplied by Warsaw to Kyiv, according to Polish media; the Polish government has not confirmed these deliveries.

During their meeting in Krakow, the prime ministers of the two countries signed a cooperation agreement in the field of rail transport, in particular the transport of Ukrainian goods, in order for Kyiv to be able to bypass the blockade of Ukrainian ports by Russia.

They also called the sanctions against Russia “clearly insufficient” and called once again for new sanctions on oil, gas and coal exported by Moscow.
