Polish farmers have escalated their protests against Ukrainian grain imports by blocking the Ukrainian border, engaging in acts such as making huge bonfires, putting European flags into cow dung, and stopping Ukrainian trucks to spill grain onto the road. These actions have prompted the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland to seek police intervention and expect a strong response from Polish authorities. The incident has sparked a broader discussion on Poland's support for Ukraine amidst the war and the interests of Polish farmers, with Donald Tusk backing the farmers in an attempt to prove he’s not an EU proxy. Polish Deputy Agriculture Minister Michal Kolodziejczak announced plans for quality checks on all grain shipments from Ukraine, reflecting growing tensions. The situation has drawn criticism, with the Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Zvarych, and the Lviv Mayor condemning the grain spillage as senseless and shameful. Meanwhile, Polish police are investigating the incident, and there's a call for accountability for the spoilage of Ukrainian grain, emphasizing the high price Ukrainian farmers pay, risking their lives. Additionally, Polish farmers have declared a month-long strike.
