The Ukrainian authorities have proposed to the Polish government to temporarily reduce grain shipments in order to alleviate the internal crisis provoked in Poland, where farmers complain about the lack of tariffs on wheat from Ukraine.
“The Ukrainian side came up with a proposal to limit and even stop the flow of grain to Poland for some time,” the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development confirmed on its official Twitter account on Friday.
Henryk Kowalczyk resigned as Poland’s agriculture and rural development minister on Wednesday in response to a series of protests by farmers over grain imports from Ukraine exempted from customs duties by the European Commission.
The former agriculture minister said the Polish government asked the European Union at the end of March to reintroduce tariffs, but so far Brussels has ignored the request.
Also on Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about this at a meeting in Warsaw, recognizing the need to reach an agreement to resolve the situation, which Kowalczyk considers national. a crisis.
The export of grain from Ukrainian ports was one of the main and almost the only agreement reached between Russia and Ukraine, which, through the mediation of the UN, managed to approve a plan to send grain from the Black Sea in 2022.
