Ukraine's main gateway for Western military aid has come under renewed political scrutiny as diplomatic tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw deepen ahead of a sensitive historical commemoration. While both governments insist military cooperation remains intact, increasingly sharp public exchanges have drawn attention to one of NATO's most important logistics routes supporting Ukraine's war effort.
Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in southeastern Poland, about 90 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, has served as the main transit hub for military equipment, ammunition and humanitarian aid entering Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Supplies from the United Kingdom, the United States and other NATO allies pass through the airport before continuing by road and rail into Ukraine.
