Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the statement by Polish Minister of Development and Technology Waldemar Buda. Earlier, he noted that the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland also affects its transit to third countries.
The diplomat called Warsaw's decision very indicative in terms of exposing the West's concern for those in need of food. The British newspaper Express called the Polish ban on grain imports from Ukraine a stab in the back at a difficult moment. The ban comes after farmers in European countries faced losses due to overstocking of the markets of these countries with Ukrainian grain.
