Poland denies providing arms to Ukraine

Poland's Ministry of Defense, just like institutions from three other countries, denied agreeing to supply arms to Ukraine on Sunday. Earlier that day, an advisor to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had said that his country would receive such support. “At the NATO summit agreements were reached on the provision of military advisers and supplies of modern armaments from the United States, France, Italy, Poland and Norway,” Yuri Lytsenko wrote on his Facebook page. Denials came quickly. “ There (was) no agreement concerning supply of modern arms from Poland to Ukraine at the NATO summit,” Jacek Sońta from Poland's defense miinistry told Reuters. The US, Italy and Norway also said they did not make such commitments. French officials declined to comment.
