Ministry of Agrarian Policy on incident with grain spilled by Polish protesters: Ukrainian farmers get this grain sometimes at expense of their lives
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine strongly condemns the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian grain by Polish protesters on the Ukrainian-Polish border.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in a statement by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
"We are closely monitoring the investigation of this incident and expect the perpetrators to be identified and punished as soon as possible.
We understand when Polish farmers defend their interests in a civilized manner. However, this case of destruction of Ukrainian wheat has nothing to do with peaceful protests, either legally or morally.
For two years of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian farmers have been working under constant enemy fire and suffering huge losses. They are getting this grain extremely hard and sometimes at the expense of their lives," the statement reads.
Also, as noted, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy invites Polish farmers to Ukraine to see the conditions in which Ukrainian farmers are currently working. 4 million small farmers in Ukraine are ready to share their experience with Polish colleagues.
At the same time, the Ministry thanked the Poles who have helped and continue to help the Ukrainian people.
"Separately, we want to note that we are absolutely sure that such cases will not be able to affect our common struggle and the great support of the Polish people, which we have been experiencing for 2 years in the war against the Russian invader," the Ministry of Agrarian Policy added.
