A key Polish supply hub for military aid to Ukraine has resumed normal operations after disruption caused by a pause in U.S. supplies, Poland’s defense minister has said.

Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in southeast Poland, which handles around 90% of all international military aid to Ukraine, has returned to its “normal rhythm,” Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz told a Tuesday press conference.

The defense minister said the flow of aid is “now at a different level compared to last week’s suspension of military aid deliveries. Full access to intelligence information has also been restored, which we’re very pleased about.”

U.S. President Donald Trump suspended military and intelligence assistance to Kyiv in early March following an acrimonious exchange at the White House with the Ukrainian president.

Kosiniak-Kamysz said he and other allies of Kyiv who took part in a video conference at the weekend shared a positive assessment of U.S.-Ukrainian talks in Saudi Arabia last week at which Ukrainian officials agreed to a 30-day ceasefire.

“All leaders saw the U.S.-Ukraine agreement as a step in the right direction,” he said. “Today, the U.S. and Ukraine stand on one side, while the adversary is on the other. Now, the ball is in Russia's court.”
