The foreign policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, Ulrich Lechte, sharply criticized the Polish government for statements about an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine. He accused Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of a political maneuver with which he wanted to score points in the current election campaign.
“The fact that Poland, a hitherto reliable partner, is now stopping military support for Ukraine and communicating this in this way is a disgrace,” said Lechte in Berlin. “Poland obviously wants to put pressure on Ukraine and the EU to find a solution for Ukrainian grain imports.” At the same time, this is “an election campaign strategy by the PiS government to distract attention from the visa affair.” Lechte: “Unfortunately, the Polish government is now deliberately carrying this out on the backs of Ukraine.”
