Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that Ukraine has failed to deliver promised drone technology despite Poland’s military support and willingness to transfer MiG-29 fighter jets.
Historical Tensions Rise
Relations between Poland and Ukraine have been strained due to disputes over historical issues and agricultural imports. The latest tensions come after Polish President Karol Nawrocki stripped Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Poland’s highest state honour amid a dispute over a Ukrainian military unit named after insurgents Warsaw blames for massacres of Poles during World War Two.
Kosiniak-Kamysz said that discussions on the transfer of the remaining MiG-29 fighter jets to Kyiv in exchange for access to Ukrainian drone technology had been going on for months. However, Ukraine is not honouring the agreement, according to the Polish Defence Minister.
Kosiniak-Kamysz alleged that Ukraine is prioritising historical disputes with Poland for domestic political reasons, which is fuelling support for far-right parties that seek to capitalise on anti-Ukrainian sentiment.
