Details
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz expressed concern over the US decision to suspend the supply of ammunition and missiles to Ukraine. He emphasized that this is not good news for Poland, as Ukraine is currently defending itself against Russian aggression, and its support is extremely important for it to withstand.
The high-ranking official also noted that European countries are making efforts to strengthen aid to Ukraine.
I regret that the Americans are making such a decision. I would like everything to happen the other way around
He emphasized that Russia is not demonstrating readiness for peace talks, does not want to conclude a truce or cease fire. That is why, according to him, supporting Ukraine must remain a priority for Poland and all of Europe.
All the more reason to continue supporting Ukraine with full determination, which is in the interest of both Poland and Europe
Earlier, expert Michael Pifer stated that the pause in arms supplies to Ukraine indicates the weakness of the US position on this issue.
Recall
On Wednesday, July 2, the Pentagon stopped sending some anti-aircraft missiles and ammunition to Ukraine due to fears that US weapons stockpiles had become too depleted. The decision was made in early June, but it only came into effect now.
Ukraine is clarifying the issue of defense aid supplies from the US. No official notifications about the cessation or revision of supply schedules have been received, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has requested a conversation with its American counterparts.
Republican congressmen Brian Fitzpatrick and Michael McCaul called on President Trump to resume military aid to Ukraine and hold an emergency briefing for Congress. Democrat Jeanne Shaheen also expressed concern about the suspension of supplies, which the White House attributes to low levels of its own military stockpiles.
The cargo of American military aid to Ukraine, which is in Poland after Washington suspended arms supplies to Kyiv, includes Patriot and GMLRS missiles, grenade launchers, 155-mm howitzer shells, etc.
