Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spoke about the Ukrainian-Polish barter. In his opinion, Ukraine pays with its blood, while Poland provides old equipment as an equal exchange.

Morawiecki stated: «You pay with your blood, and we pay you with old equipment». This statement caused a wide resonance and discussion on social media.

The Ukrainian-Polish barter is part of a broader cooperation between the two countries. Poland provides Ukraine with various types of assistance, including military equipment and humanitarian support.

However, some experts believe that the equipment provided by Poland does not always meet modern standards. This raises questions about the effectiveness of such an exchange and how equal it really is.
