He voiced during the briefing. The Polish Prime Minister added that Poland is the last country that must prove its solidarity with our state.

There is no deficit in relations

According to Donald Tusk, there is no deficit in Polish-Ukrainian relations. At the same time, he stated that there is a critical moment for grain exports.

Tusk also addressed other Western countries. He called on them to “finally move on and take their obligations to Ukraine seriously.”

Regarding “one critical moment regarding the export of Ukrainian grain and other agricultural products to Poland to Europe”, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that on this matter, Ukrainian politicians will “refrain from emotional comments.”

Here we need to look for a solution, not to look for something that could divide us, because it would be the greatest idiocy in the history of our peoples if we quarreled now and did not find a solution to this issue, because we need each other more than ever,” he emphasized he.

Farmers from Lithuania will not support the blockade

Note that that the Poles announced a blockade on the border with Lithuania from March 1. Meanwhile, the head of the Lithuanian Association of Grain Producers, Aušris Macijauskas, said that Lithuanian farmers do not plan to interfere with the supply of Ukrainian grain. According to him, the biggest problem for them is Russian food.

Lithuanian farmers have not blocked, are not blocking and are not going to block Ukrainian grain.. “We see the problem, but we understand the situation,” he emphasized.

He added that the leaders of Ukrainian farmers came to Lithuania in the fall of 2023. A round table was held between Ukrainians and Lithuanians, during which they discussed how to solve the problem. He noted that it is necessary to control and keep records.

We need to do all this, which the Lithuanian government also does not do, but we are not going to block , as the Poles do,” emphasized the representative of Lithuanian farmers.

At the same time, Macijauskas noted that grain supplies from Russia have a significant impact on the situation with prices for agricultural products within Lithuania . Note that they have not yet been banned by EU sanctions.
