One of Ukraine's staunchest allies, Poland, has said it is no longer supplying weapons to its neighbour, as a diplomatic dispute over grain escalates.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Poland's focus was instead on defending itself with more modern weapons.

Other conservatives will likely want to follow suit

Here's the full quote. Sounds a bit different then.

“We will certainly not risk Ukraine’s security, which is why our hub in Rzeszów, in consultation with the Americans and NATO, continues to play the same role as it did.
And it will continue to do so.
We are no longer transferring any weapons to Ukraine because we are now arming ourselves with the most modern weapons. If you don’t want to defend yourself, you must have something to defend yourself with – this is our principle.
And that’s why we have made increased orders (…) – we are focusing on quickly arming the Polish army.”

Wonder if this is their play to get weapons from the US or other NATO members to modernize their arsenal and then free up older munitions to give to Ukraine like we've seen prior
