Warsaw will declassify the list of military aid provided to Ukraine between 2022 and 2026. At the same time, Polish military counterintelligence will investigate who allegedly tried to disclose state secrets related to deliveries, according to Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
Polish defense chief says the decision was made after consultations with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, "while maintaining responsibility toward public opinion and in accordance with legal regulations."
"I have ordered the declassification of all donations to Ukraine for the years 2022-2026," Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
The minister noted that the process of transferring military equipment to Kyiv began under the Law and Justice (PiS) government, then led by Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak. Every donation has been reported to the current President, Karol Nawrocki, and his predecessor, Andrzej Duda.
Kosiniak-Kamysz also said he had instructed the Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW) to determine who deliberately attempted to reveal state secrets.
"We are operating in conditions of war at our border; every action against Polish national interest endangers the security of Polish women and men," the defense minister said.
The minister also addressed his predecessor, Mariusz Błaszczak, saying, "You have already done this once." Kosiniak-Kamysz vowed that everyone involved would be held accountable, regardless of immunity.
The controversy began after Polish Sejm Deputy Speaker Krzysztof Bosak said that the government may have transferred Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine without parliamentary approval.
