    Really sorry to spoil the Putinist schadenfreude here, but Morawiecki simply said that they already stopped a while ago because they ran out of weapons to donate. It has no connection to the grain row.

    Because it was taken out of context and used by Russian propaganda, Morawiecky later announced that Poland of course remains committed to Ukrainian defense effort.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    One of Ukraine’s staunchest allies, Poland, has said it is no longer supplying weapons to its neighbour, as a diplomatic dispute over grain escalates.

    Mr Zelensky said it was alarming how some of Ukraine’s friends in Europe were playing out solidarity “in a political theatre - making a thriller from grain”.

    Arms exports to Ukraine will not stop completely as Polish manufacturer PGZ is due to send about 60 Krab artillery weapons in the coming months.

    Earlier this week, Ukraine filed lawsuits to the World Trade Organization (WTO) against those countries over the bans, which it said were a violation of international obligations.

    Kyiv called for Poland to “leave emotion aside” after their ambassador was summoned and instead suggested the parties should adopt a constructive approach to resolving the dispute.

    The French Foreign Minister Catherina Colonna said on Wednesday an EU study revealed Ukrainian grain imports would not cripple European farmers, and described the tensions as “regrettable”.
