Tensions Rise as Poland's Grain Transit Plans Spark Controversy
Polish President Andrzej Duda supports the ban on Ukrainian grain imports to the Polish market, but emphasizes the need to increase transit of Ukrainian grain through Poland to third countries. Special transit corridors are being prepared to facilitate this. The ongoing "grain crisis" between Ukraine and Poland has led to a complaint filed by Ukraine with the World Trade Organization, and the two countries' agriculture ministers are expected to meet soon to resolve the dispute.
