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, Warsawβs minister for EU affairs, has said.
Asked to comment on Warsawβs 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 βrelentlessβ on the matter.
Szynkowski vel Sek claimed that Kievβs pushback over the dispute βharms Ukraine itself,β as it makes βa certain impression on Polish public opinionβ 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.Β βIf 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.βΒ
