Polish Defense Minister Vladislav Kosiak-Kamysz has declared that Poland has no intentions of deploying forces to Ukraine.
Kosiak-Kamysz firmly stated, “There will be no Polish troops in Ukraine,” indicating Warsaw’s continued commitment to support Kyiv.
“We will assist and support. We will transfer weapons. Indeed, that is substantial. And we will back every initiative that serves the security of Poland,” he added.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced last month that sending Western forces to Ukraine in the future should not be “ruled out,” noting the current lack of consensus on such a step.
Moscow has criticized this notion, branding it a move towards igniting a global conflict between Russia and the West.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized that deploying NATO forces to Kyiv would spark a direct conflict between the alliance and Russia, leading to an escalation of the situation.
Notably, Ukraine has formally requested Poland to compensate for the destruction of 180 tons of Ukrainian grain.
This incident occurred at the Polish-Ukrainian border, where Polish farmers, in a widespread protest that began on February 9th, targeted grain shipments destined for Morocco.
According to RBK Ukraine, Taras Vysotskyi, the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, stated, “As a result of Polish farmers’ protests at the border with Ukraine, between 160-180 tons of Ukrainian grain in transit to Morocco were destroyed.
Those responsible for this damage should compensate us, either voluntarily or through a court decision.”
The protests, marking a significant escalation in the farmers’ ongoing grievances, involved blockading roads and border checkpoints to halt the import of Ukrainian agricultural products into Poland.
