Poland urges President Zelensky to stop insulting Warsaw.

In a meeting with constituents, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki declared that President Zelensky should "never insult Poles" in the way the Ukrainian leader did in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly.

"Polish people will never allow this," Prime Minister Morawiecki emphasized.

According to Morawiecki, in the current geopolitical context, Poland will protect its interests and knows "how to shape these interests." At the same time, the Polish Prime Minister stated that Warsaw is actively assisting Kyiv by transporting weapons.

"We are currently mostly self-armed, but the center in Rzeszow – a special logistics center that is operational – has been and will continue to operate in cooperation with Poland's allies," Prime Minister Morawiecki shared.

Prime Minister Morawiecki announced on September 20th that he would halt arms aid to Ukraine to focus on building its defense capabilities, amid escalating tensions between the two countries over agricultural exports. Polish President Andrzej Duda later clarified that Poland would not be transferring the latest weapons it had purchased to modernize its military. However, the weapons and ammunition under the agreement would still be delivered to Ukraine.

Recently, relations between the two allies, Poland and Ukraine, have become more strained than ever, reaching their lowest point in history, due to Warsaw's embargo on grain supplies from Kyiv.

Earlier this week, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Ukrainian President Zelensky accused Poland of aiding Russia by refusing to buy Ukrainian grain.

Observers believe that with such harsh statements directed at Poland, Ukraine is very likely to face retaliation from its closest ally.
