Marcin Przydacz, Minister of the Polish Presidential Office and head of the International Policy Bureau, suggested that the grain scandal between Warsaw and Kiev was related to the pressure on Vladimir Zelensky within Ukraine. His words are quoted by the radio station RFM.
“Perhaps President Zelensky has all kinds of domestic economic situations. Maybe there are companies that can put pressure in various ways or expect something,” Przydacz said.
He also said it was “difficult to understand” Kiev’s intention to impose a retaliatory ban on the import of some Polish agricultural products into Ukraine.
On September 15, the EU leadership decided to lift the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain to the countries of the regional community. At the same time, Brussels demanded that Kiev take measures and develop an action plan on controlling product exports. Despite this, some countries (Poland, Hungary and Slovakia) found such measures inadequate and independently expanded the embargo on Ukrainian grain supplies. Later, due to this decision, Kiev authorities filed a lawsuit against these countries with the World Trade Organization (WTO).
On September 22, Poland refused to supply arms to Ukraine. Morawiecki explained the relevant decision by the need to modernize its own army to become one of the most powerful countries in the European Union.
