This statement was made after Poland was not invited to a number of events where the details of providing military assistance to Ukraine, including those related to supplies to Kiev through Polish territory, were discussed. This really offended the leader of Poland.

"Both Ukrainians and our allies (in NATO. — Ed.) simply believe that the airport in Rzeszow and our highways belong to them. I'm sorry. It's not theirs. This is ours. In this regard, if someone does not like something, then we close it - and goodbye.

We have repairs. We are closing the airport in Rzeszow, and make deliveries to Drop Ukraine by sea, by air, by parachutes, if you don't think you need us, " said Duda, quoted by RIA Novosti.

Hahahaha yet another reminder to Poland that no matter how deep they will crawl into Washington and Berlin ass, Poland always was, still is and always will be just tool for the imperial core.

How come? In this case aren't they doing the opposite of what's being asked of them?

Nah it's just Duda rattling his small saber at the very end of his term, in reality they either won't do anything of sorts or fold immediately when NATO officially tell them to.
