WARSAW: Poland summoned Kyiv's envoy to the foreign ministry on Wednesday , after comments by Ukraine's president on a ban on grain imports angered the government in Warsaw, which is toughening its stance ahead of October elections.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the United Nations General Assembly Kyiv was working to preserve land routes for grain exports, but added that the"political theatre" around grain imports was only helping Moscow. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary announced curbs on grain imports from Ukraine on Friday after the European Commission decided not to extend a ban on sales into five EU states, including Romania and Bulgaria.
Ukraine's ambassador, Nikolenko said, also underlined the"incorrectness" of remarks by Polish President Andrzej Duda in New York that Ukraine should remember that it receives help from Poland. Duda had likened Kyiv to a"drowning person". He did not name the countries although Kyiv has previously said the complaint targeted Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
