Poland's prime minister told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday not to 'insult' Poles, maintaining harsh rhetoric towards Kyiv after the Polish president had sought to defuse a simmering row over grain imports.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Polish President Andrzej Duda commemorate victims of World War II at the Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Lutsk, Ukraine July 9, 2023.
Poland holds a parliamentary election on Oct. 15, and Morawiecki's ruling nationalist Law and Justice party has come in for criticism from the far right for what it says is the government's subservient attitude to Ukraine. "I have no doubt that the dispute over the supply of grain from Ukraine to the Polish market is an absolute fragment of the entire Polish-Ukrainian relations," Duda told a business conference.
However, speaking to reporters in New York, Rau said that while Poland had not changed its policy towards Ukraine, there had been a "radical change in Polish public opinion's perception" of the countries' relations.
