US resumes military aid to Ukraine through Poland after ceasefire agreement with Russia in Jeddah talks.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on Wednesday (March 12, 2025) that U.S. military aid deliveries to neighbouring Ukraine through Poland have resumed to previous levels following U.S.-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia.
Last week, Washington halted military assistance to war-torn Ukraine after a public clash in the White House between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
But in Jeddah talks on Tuesday Ukraine endorsed an American proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Moscow and agreed to immediate negotiations with Russia - which prompted Trump to lift the freeze.
"I confirm that arms deliveries via Jasionka (logistics hub) have returned to previous levels," Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski told reporters.
He was speaking alongside his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiga who visited Warsaw on his way back to Ukraine from Jeddah.
