Polish farmers have no reason to escalate their protest at the border with Ukraine as their demands are already being heard across Europe and ways are being sought to solve the problem, Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Zwarycz said in a statement interview with the Ukrinform agency. . Is this really the case?
Zwarycz about Polish farmers
A way to resolve the situation is being sought, taking into account the interests of both Ukrainian and European farmers. We must learn to live in a united Europe, “because Ukraine’s membership in the EU is inevitable,” Zwarycz said. announced at the meeting for February 20 this year. protest of Polish farmers.
The diplomat stressed that Ukraine calls on the Polish side “not to aggravate the situation, prevent aggressive actions at the border and unblock freight traffic between Ukraine and Poland and all of Europe.”
He called the blockade and radical actions against Ukrainian goods “the road to our common defeat.”
Both Ukrainian and Polish farmers will lose, and only Moscow will benefit
– he said.
As Polish farmers block the Ukrainian border, agricultural products, including grain, flow freely from Russia to Europe. I believe that we must join forces to prevent the aggressor from enriching itself by increasing the export of these products to Europe. Buying Russian goods means financing Russia’s war against Ukraine and the entire civilized world, including Poland
– said Zwarycz.
Farmers’ protest. What does the PSL minister say?
On Friday, February 9 this year, protests were held across Poland by farmers who, among other things, opposed the introduction of the Green Deal and the influx of goods from Ukraine, because agricultural production has become unprofitable.
Czesław Siekierski, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, was asked on Radio Zet whether the government supports the project announced for February 20 this year. farmers’ protest, replied: “The government does not support the protests, but this time farmers are protesting for a good cause.” As the minister said, farmers are protesting against the excessive opening of the European market, including the Polish one, to goods from Ukraine. He recalled that this trade is partially restricted. He informed that bilateral talks are underway at a technical level with Ukraine on further restriction and control of the inflow of agricultural goods from this country to Poland.
I wonder whether the words of the Ukrainian ambassador and the Polish Minister of Agriculture will convince the farmers?
