Poland will protect its market from the influx of grain from Ukraine, President Andrzej Duda said, urging his neighbor to refrain from public attacks in a dispute that’s shaken ties between key allies against Russia’s invasion.
“We cannot allow that Ukrainian grain is sold on the Polish market without any control,” Duda said in a Bloomberg Television interview in New York on Tuesday.
But that relationship has shown signs of strain, with authorities in Kyiv decrying Warsaw’s decision to impose a ban on grain imports — a reaction to protests by farmers against plummeting grain prices. Ukraine this week filed a complaint to the World Trade Organization against the restrictions, which hamper a crucial economic lifeline.
If Kyiv’s proposal is accepted, its exporters will get licenses to ship some wheat, corn, sunflower seeds and rapeseed and Ukraine ensure that volumes don’t exceed agreed limits. Romania, which also restricted Ukraine’s grain imports, has said the proposal meets its demands and did not impose a unilateral ban.
