Poland may cut its support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia over the growing grain dispute between the two Eastern European countries, Szymon Szynkowski vel Sek, Warsawโs minister for EU affairs, has said.
Asked to comment on Warsawโs decision to extend its embargo on Ukrainian grain despite the EU lifting the restriction, the minister told PAP news agency on Tuesday that Poland would be โrelentlessโ on the matter.
Szynkowski vel Sek claimed that Kievโs pushback over the dispute โharms Ukraine itself,โ as it makes โa certain impression on Polish public opinionโ and affects the level of support for continued military and economic assistance.
The minister added that while Warsaw wants to continue to back Ukraine, there should be public support.ย โIf there is no support for such actions from Poles, it will be difficult for us to continue supporting Ukraine in the same way as we have been doing so far.โย
