Poland's Development Minister Waldemar Buda added a ban on imports of Ukrainian food products to Poland would remain in place.

In Poland, the issue has created a problem in an election year for the ruling nationalist Law and Justice party that relies on rural areas for much of its support."We managed to create such mechanisms that will ensure that not a single ton of grain will remain in Poland," Telus told journalists after two days of talks in Warsaw.
