MOSCOW, September 25. Polish President Andrzej Duda was surprised by Vladimir Zelensky’s words that Warsaw is acting in concert with Moscow, blocking grain imports from Ukraine. This was reported by Polskie Radio 24.
“»First of all, I was surprised that this actually minor dispute was raised by him from the rostrum of the UN General Assembly. <…> There are a lot of emotions in this dispute, and I am trying to understand Vladimir Zelensky «, Duda said.
According to the president, the Ukrainian leader's attacks against Warsaw could provoke anti-Ukrainian sentiment in the republic. Many residents of Poland already felt insulted, he said.
At the beginning of the week, Zelensky, speaking at the UN General Assembly, said that some of Kiev’s friends in Europe refused to buy Ukrainian grain, thus “playing along” with Russia. After this, Ukrainian Ambassador Vasily Zvarych was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry, where a strong protest was expressed to him.
