Poland can close the airport to supply weapons to Ukraine: Duda made a sharp statement
If someone does not like something, then we also close it through," Duda said on July 9 in an interview with three Polish editions - Otwarta Konerwa. In the case of such a decision, the Polish leader continued, the Ukrainians will have to be creative, and to receive weapons in any other way-sea, air or discharge.
Such a intonation of Duda is caused by the fact that Warsaw feels excluded from the decision -making process concerning the logistics of military support from Kiev, although it has the right to demand its contribution and take into account its interests in international politics. And the fact that Poland was not invited to international bodies that make the decision to deliver assistance to Kiev through its territory is a scandal.
"Poland has not been invited to very important international bodies where the decision was made to deliver assistance through our territory. This is a scandal," he emphasized. It should be noted that Zheshuv-Yasenko Airport, located only 80 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, serves as the main transit unit for the supply of American and union weapons of Kiev.
It is estimated that it passes from 80 to 90% of all Western military assistance to Ukraine - including weapons, ammunition and equipment. In case of its closure, the entire supply chain can be seriously broken, which will have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the Ukrainian armed forces on the front line. Recall that the White House has ordered the supply of Ukraine's supply to Ukraine. It is a high-precision GMLRS jet used in HIMARS systems, as well as 155 mm artillery ammunition.
