Poland bears the greatest burden in relation to aid to Ukraine, and the European Union provides us with poor support in this regard. The EU does not want to give us money, it wants to starve us, said deputy head of the parliamentary club PiS, Marek Suski, on Friday when asked about the situation on the grain market in Poland. The politician also drew attention to Tusk’s commitments. “Tusk changes face, 50 faces of Donald Tusk, all different. When is it real?” – Marek Suski pointed out.
Problems with Ukrainian grain
The PiS MP was questioned on Radio Zet on Friday about farmers’ problems related to the large amount of Ukrainian grain imported into Poland.
The government is allocating huge sums to compensate for this situation for farmers. There will also be access control, sealing and export
said Suski.
According to him, the difficult situation on the grain market in Poland is the result of the war.
And the European Union has decided that by helping Ukraine, we will allow their goods to enter the European market. The first country where these goods go is Poland, and some individuals thought that they would make money, that they would buy very cheaply and then sell at a high profit, they were wrong. Some of them are among these protesters because there is no profit
he noticed.
Suski also expressed regret that “although Poland bears the biggest burden in the EU in terms of aid to Ukraine, the EU does not support us in this.”
The EU does not want to give us money. He wants to starve us. This is part of this famine of Poland
– assessed the PiS politician.

“50 Faces of Tusk”
Marek Suski was also asked about plans to index the 500 plus benefit. He stated that he knew nothing about it. When asked if PLN 700 would be the answer to Donald Tusk’s “grandmother” money, the politician said:
I’ve been hearing about it long before Tusk invented mohair, no, grandmas. I heard Donald Tusk mention Grandma’s mohair. (…) Today is the campaign, today Tusk changes his face, 50 faces of Donald Tusk, all different. When is it real? This will become clear after the elections. Before one of the last elections, he sued us when we said he was going to raise the retirement age. After the election, he raised the retirement age.
The politician judged that “Poles should be afraid of Donald Tusk and his rule.”
He showed that he constantly cheated in the campaign, and after the election he stole OFE, raised the retirement age and said all this under no circumstances
Marek Suski remembered.

Government measures regarding Ukrainian grain
After Wednesday’s government meeting, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that a special letter on the inflow of Ukrainian grain to Poland will be addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. It is said to be a letter from the prime ministers of several EU countries demanding “immediate action, immediate use of all tools, all available procedures and regulations to limit the impact of Ukrainian grain on the markets of Ukraine’s neighboring countries”.
Morawiecki also announced that he had directed Deputy Prime Minister, Agriculture Minister Henryk Kowalczyk, to develop rules allowing the liquidation of some of the grain from Ukraine that had accumulated in Poland, i.e. for sale in North Africa and the Middle East, and appropriate regulations that would limit the flow of this grain to Poland.
The European Commission announced on Thursday that it has approved a €56 million aid package to support farmers in frontline countries coping with the impact of a large quantity of agri-food products from Ukraine entering the EU market. approved by all Member States and measures can be taken. Poland accounts for 30 million euros.
On Wednesday, during the agriculture round table, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Henryk Kowalczyk recalled that the aid program in the amount of PLN 600 million for subsidies for grain sold at lower prices has already been approved by the European Commission. Soon there will also be other aid programs from the EU crisis reserve, which, together with the national subsidy, will generate more than PLN 520 million to support grain producers. In total, the compensation for farmers will be 1 billion 120 million PLN – emphasized Kowalczyk.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the proposals include: the government will apply to the European Commission to reinstate customs duties on grain from Ukraine; border controls are tightened and transport is suspended pending receipt of the test result; PLN 600 million from the national budget goes to wheat and maize producers; additional PLN 520 million from the crisis reserve will go to farmers; other cereals and rapeseed will be included. In addition, there will be subsidies for transport for farmers and grain merchants in the amount of PLN 100, 150, 200 per ton of wheat or corn, depending on the distance from the Baltic ports. The government of the Republic of Poland will seek permission from the European Commission to provide this aid, the Ministry of Agriculture announced.
