Zelenskyy hints Poland provided secret military aid to Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Warsaw for undisclosed assistance and 20 mm ammunition. Russian drone and missile attacks are straining Ukraine's air defenses, while Europe faces growing pressure to fill gaps in US support.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly thanked Poland for assistance whose nature he did not disclose, as well as for 20 mm ammunition. The wording has prompted suggestions that Warsaw provided Kyiv with secret military aid. The source does not specify what that assistance consisted of.
The thanks come as Russian drone and missile attacks put heavy strain on Ukraine's air defense systems. Any additional support, including ammunition, therefore matters for Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
Pressure on Europe
At the same time, European countries face greater pressure to fill gaps that have emerged in US support for Ukraine. Poland's assistance falls within this broader context, in which Ukraine's allies are looking for ways to meet its defense needs.
