 Poland has announced it will no longer send weapons to Ukraine, as it shifts focus to modernising its own military. The announcement from one of Ukraine's top allies in its fight against Russian invaders comes amid a bitter dispute over the import of grain. However, Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said his decision was not related to the agricultural disagreement and insisted it would not impact their neighbour's security. He told private TV broadcaster Polsat News yesterday: 'We are no longer transferring any weapons to Ukraine because now we will arm ourselves with the most modern weapons.' Mr Morawiecki added that the move would not affect the Nato and US hub in the south-eastern Polish city of Rzeszów, which is used as a base for transporting arms across the border. His government has placed a ban on imports of Ukrainian grain, over fears large quantities would depress prices and hurt farmers in Poland and the wider European Union. In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky said 'political theatre' around the grain was only helping Moscow. Zelensky's comments prompted anger in Warsaw, where the Ukrainian ambassador was summoned to the foreign ministry for a dressing-down.
