Poland is open to hold talks with Ukraine regarding potential sales of arms, Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said on Wednesday.
"I have never heard of any embargo on arms sales to Ukraine," Komorowski said at a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko.
"If Ukraine is interested, then of course Poland is absolutely open to hold talks (on arms sales)," Komorowski said.

A number of documents (on border traffic, education and local self-administration reform) were signed as part of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's visit to Poland on Dec. 17. The documents were signed after negotiations between delegates from both countries at the Presidential Palace in Warsaw.

Poroshenko did express thanks to Poland for sending two humanitarian convoys to residents in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, which is currently under the control of pro-Russian separatists.
Poroshenko is on the first day of a two-day visit to Poland.
"Today Ukraine is fighting for our United Europe. United we are invincible. Long live our solid friendship! Glory to Ukraine!" Poroshenko wrote later on his twiter account.
