Siemoniak: Sale of arms to Ukraine not ruled out

Poland is not sending arms to Ukraine now, but talks on the subject are due to start soon, Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak told Polish Radio on Monday. “The Ukrainian army has its needs. We have a certain capacity. It’s mostly about what our defense industry can produce and sell,” the minister said. Siemoniak stressed that Poland has not started supplying Ukraine with arms yet. That country’s Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey clearly said only one country had started to do so and it was not Poland, the minister explained. “The sale of arms requires the consent of relevant government institutions,” Siemoniak said. He added that Heletey would soon come to Poland. “We will talk about cooperation, also in the military field,” he said.
