We are talking about Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary. Polish Agriculture Minister Robert Telus said that even if a continuation of the EU ban cannot be achieved, some countries are planning to introduce their own restrictions.
Previously introduced restrictions on imports are valid until September 15.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has already responded to this statement. They say that the continuation of the ban on the import of Ukrainian products is unacceptable and called on the EU leadership to find a balanced solution.
The current ban ends September 15th. Ukraine’s European neighbors allow the transit of grain, but do not want to buy it, so as not to collapse their own agricultural market with low prices for Ukrainian goods.
On August 1, Polish Ambassador to Ukraine Bartosz Cichocki was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Kyiv because of the statements of the head of the office for international policy in the administration of Andrzej Duda Marcin Przydacz.
In an interview with the Polish media, Przydach noted that Ukraine received really great support from Poland and that it “should start to appreciate the role that Poland has played for Ukraine in recent months and years.” The corresponding statements of the Polish official were made in the context of the situation with blocking the export of Ukrainian grain through Poland.
Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki sharply condemned Kyiv’s decision to summon the Polish ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of Przydacz’s statements. In response, Poland announced the summons of Ukrainian Ambassador Vasily Zvarych.
