Poland threatens to keep Ukrainian grain ban after embargo date expires

Poland has helped Ukraine tremendously over the last several months, providing it with weapons and accepting its refugees. However, the latest developments suggest that the honeymoon period is regrettably coming to an end. Ukraine has no choice but to challenge Poland's decision, which reflects a failure to show solidarity with its neighbor amid an overarching military threat to Europe.
The influx of Ukraine's grain in Polish markets has decreased prices and negatively affected farmers' ability to make a living. Poland continues to support Ukraine, but its primary duty must be to protect its own national economy and the interests of its people.
