We present our observations of the galaxy UGS 5600 with a long-slit spectrograph (UAGS) and a multi-pupil field spectrograph (MPFS) using the 6-m telescope at Special Astrophysical Observatory. Radial-velocity fields of the stellar and gaseous components were constructed for the central region and inner ring of the galaxy. We proved the existence of two almost orthogonal kinematic subsystems and conclude that UGC 5600 is a galaxy with an inner polar ring. In the circumnuclear region, we detected noncircular stellar motions and suspected the existence of a minibar. The emission lines are shown to originate in H II regions. We estimated the metallicity from the intensity ratio of the [NII]$\lambda6583$ and \Ha lines to be nearly solar, which rules out the possibility that the polar ring was produced by the accretion of gas from a dwarf companion.
