Polish President Andrzej Duda has criticized the European Commission for blocking billions of euros in post-pandemic recovery funds, suggesting it aimed to force a government change in Poland. Meanwhile, during a visit to Kyiv on Ukraine Unity Day, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk pledged full support to Ukraine, including a new military aid package and a loan to finance arms procurement from Polish companies. The discussions also covered joint arms production and Poland's appointment of a commissioner for Ukraine's recovery. The visit resulted in Poland joining a G7 declaration to provide security guarantees for Ukraine. Additionally, the EU has granted concessions to the new Polish government, allowing control over Ukrainian food exports to prevent price depression, with plans for additional safeguards.
