Media: Poland will demand the abolition of the free trade regime between Ukraine and the EU

The Polish government led by Donald Tusk, despite promises to support Ukraine, adopted some of the theses of its predecessors.

The new Polish government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, amid pledges of commitment to support Ukraine, still wants to maintain the protectionist policies of its predecessors. In particular, the prime minister will oppose the extension of the free trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU, the Financial Times reports.

The European Commission is inviting EU member states to extend until June 2025 the agreement under which Ukraine is temporarily exempted from customs tariffs and export quotas in the EU due to Russian aggression. The decision will be made on the basis of a majority vote, so Poland’s position will not affect the result, the publication notes.

Donald Tusk’s government’s desire to continue the policies of its predecessors from the right-wing populist party Law and Justice contradicts the pledge it made last month when it took power, the media recalled.

The publication also recalls that after taking office, Tusk did not dare to order the Polish police and border guards to forcefully unblock the border.

Tusk previously said that Poland would continue to give full support to Ukraine in its war against Russia, but also promised to protect key sectors of the Polish economy from unfair competition.

However, he repeated the thesis of his predecessors that EU aid to Ukrainian agriculture is an incentive for agricultural oligarchs, not small farmers.

We remind you that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmitry Kuleba, said that Ukraine will intensify cooperation with the new Polish government to resolve problematic bilateral issues.
