Ukraine needs money to fight Russia. Poland does not want its economy hurt by cheap imported grain. Russia want to divide its neighbors so it can pick them off one by one. Seems like something like this should be resolved by quite behind the scenes negotiation.
- Poland and quiet? You forgot they have Elections soon... Nationalist shitshow is on the table until its over or EU closes the money valve.
Poland has elections next week. That’s why the government is being pedantic. It’s just an attempt to bump poll numbers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has told Volodymyr Zelensky never to “insult Poles again” after the Ukrainian president suggested his neighbor was putting on a show over their disputes on grain exports.
The comments by Morawiecki risk deepening the divisions between two countries that have previously been close allies united against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The EU announced plans to suspend the ban last week but Poland – alongside Hungary and Slovakia – said it would stick with it, sparking protests from Ukraine, which filed lawsuits against the three countries, and, subsequently, Zelensky’s comments at the UN.
But Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday moved to walk back his prime minister’s comments, saying they were “interpreted in the worst possible way.”
Poland has long been one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies, alongside multiple former Eastern bloc nations which fear they could be next if Russian President Vladimir Putin’s expansionist war is successful.
Most Western military equipment and other supplies get to Ukraine through Poland and the country is hosting 1.6 million Ukrainian refugees, according to the United Nations.
