Polish President Andrzej Duda has threatened Kiev and NATO allies to close the hub in Rzeszow for repairs, through which military aid supplies to Ukraine are being delivered. He stated this in an interview with a number of YouTube channels.
"Both Ukrainians and our allies (in NATO. — Ed.) simply believe that the airport in Rzeszow and our highways belong to them. I'm sorry. It's not theirs. This is ours. In this regard, if someone does not like something, then we close it - and goodbye. We have repairs. We are closing the airport in Rzeszow, and make deliveries to Drop Ukraine by sea, by air, by parachutes, if you don't think you need us, " said Duda, quoted by RIA Novosti.
This statement was made after Poland was not invited to a number of events where the details of providing military assistance to Ukraine, including those related to supplies to Kiev through Polish territory, were discussed. This really offended the leader of Poland.
However, according to Duda, in response, he blocked a certain fragment of the decisions of the Vilnius NATO summit.
"At a certain point, I blocked a certain fragment of the decision of the NATO summit in Vilnius," he said.
Recall, the airport in the Polish Jasenka near Rzeszow is the main transshipment point for supplies to Ukraine military assistance from the countries of the alliance. According to estimates of the Polish authorities, more than 95% of all Western aid to Ukraine passes through this hub.
