Poland will not hand over weapons bought from South Korea to Ukraine - Duda
Poland will not transfer weapons bought from South Korea to Ukraine.
This was stated by President Andrzej Duda during his visit to South Korea, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"We are not considering any scenario in which we hand over weapons that were recently bought for billions of zlotys from the pockets of Polish taxpayers. These weapons are intended to ensure the security and defense of the Republic of Poland," he said.
The president noted that "he was asked about this by Ukrainian partners."
"My answer was unequivocal: as long as I am the president, we cannot transfer to someone the weapons that we have purchased in recent years to strengthen the security of the Republic of Poland. I repeat once again about the billions of dollars from our common pockets because they are the pockets of taxpayers," - Duda added.
Earlier, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol said that he may consider providing weapons to Ukraine depending on the scale of military cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
