On February 9, farmers organized protests throughout Poland, blocking roads and entrances to checkpoints on the Ukrainian border and demanding a halt to the import of agricultural products from this country.

The parliamentarian said history was repeating itself, Ukrainian authorities should remember that even their enemies do not like traitors and they will be abandoned at the first opportunity. According to Şeremet, the most important thing is that traitors always pay the price for what they have done.
