Ukrainian grain, which is currently being blocked at the border by Polish protesters, does not go to the Polish market, and our country will work to resolve the issue of its transit. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting with media representatives following talks with Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen in Lviv.
The Head of State said that a group headed by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal is to arrive at the Ukrainian-Polish border today. The group will include ministers responsible for export and import, logistics, infrastructure, agriculture, as well as heads of the Border Guard Service.
“It is important for us to preserve our relationship. But it is also very important to preserve the truth. Ukrainian grain does not go to the Polish market. At the request of the Polish side. We have found new ways. But when we talk about transit, it is a bit beyond European law. We are willing and will do everything to resolve this issue,” the Head of State emphasized.
The President expressed gratitude to the Poles for what they did after the outbreak of a full-scale war, helping our country and sheltering people.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also thanked Ukrainian agricultural producers for understanding the situation our country is facing in times of war.
“They are not blocking anything on their own, despite the fact that their food products are not passing through Poland today. And I want to emphasize that they are not intended for the Polish market. That is, products in transit are being blocked,” the Head of State said.
