Donald Trump's stance on Ukraine is "not as black and white as some people think", the Polish foreign minister has said.
The former US president, who is running for election again this year, has said he will not commit to providing Ukraine with defence assistance.
Republicans aligned with Mr Trump were also the reason behind a six-month delay to aid for Ukraine.
But foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in an interview with the Axel Springer media company that Mr Trump had sent Ukraine anti-tank missiles before Russia's invasion "when others were not doing it".
He was referring to Javelin anti-tank missiles supplied by the US in 2018.
Mr Sikorski also said Mr Trump was "right in urging us all in Europe to spend more on defence".
He said he "did not hear any protests from Trump" once the $61bn aid package for Ukraine was approved.
"So, I hope that candidate Trump has seen that this opposition to helping Ukraine is not actually popular in the United States, that it is harming his chances [to be re-elected]," he added.
