Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has decided to make public the details of all military aid provided to Kyiv since 2022, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine began.
In a statement on social media platform X, Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz announced that, following talks with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, he had ordered the declassification of all military and defense aid information covering the 2022-2026 period.
The minister stated that this step was taken to fully inform the public about Poland's support for Ukraine, and he also ordered the Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW) to investigate any attempts to deliberately disclose state secrets. Kosiniak-Kamysz stressed that in a wartime environment, any action contrary to national interests threatens citizen security.
Russian threat continues
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, for his part, stated that despite recent disagreements between Kyiv and Warsaw, Poland's strategic interests remain unchanged. Sikorski noted that Russian missiles continue to strike Ukrainian cities and that Russian President Vladimir Putin poses a threat to both Ukraine and NATO member Poland.
Reports that Poland had provided Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine had sparked a broad public debate in the country.
Order revoked
Tensions between the two allies escalated after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy granted the honorary title of 'Heroes' to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which is held responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Poles during World War II.
Following this development, Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced that he had decided to revoke the Order of the White Eagle, the country's highest state decoration, which was awarded to Zelenskyy in 2023.
