Poland's Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak has said that earlier reports about the NATO summit having agreed to sell Polish weapons to Ukraine were a misunderstanding; however, Warsaw is ready to sell weapons to Kyiv upon request.

"Those words written on the blog (of Presidential Advisor Yuriy Lutsenko), which were very quickly quoted across the world - prompted my surprise and immediate reaction. Just like in the U.S., Italy and Norway. There were no such agreements (at the NATO summit) made in Newport," he said on TVN 24.

At the same time, nothing prevents Poland from selling weapons to Ukraine, Siemoniak added.

The Ukrainian government is free to buy weapons as there is no ban on arms supplies, and if it wants to buy some weapons, Ukraine should ask Poland itself, he said.

"For buying and selling, there must be two parties. If Ukraine expresses willingness to place an order, our defense industry will certainly be ready to comply. (...) This is not easy because such contracts are not done within days. Of course, the Polish defense industry is keen on selling weapons made in Poland," the minister added.
