Poland's Duda on Ukraine grain:
"Should we act to protect ourselves from being harmed by a drowning man? Of course we must act to protect ourselves from a drowning man causing us harm, because if the drowning man causes us harm and drowns us, he won’t get any… pic.twitter.com/VRrHjPRhj9

The Polish President asserted that it has to first protect its own interest otherwise if Ukraine (drowning man) causes harm to it, they would not be able to help it.
On Tuesday (19 September), Polish President Andrzej Duda likened Ukraine to a drowning man while defending his government’s decision to impose a grain embargo on Ukrainian agricultural products.
During a media briefing outside the UN headquarters in New York, he targeted Ukraine for going against them at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and challenging their decision to ban grain imports from Kyiv.

WNU Editor: The Polish President was responding to Ukraine President Zelensky's UN speech .... Poland fumes over Ukrainian president's UN speech (Anadolu Agency). I have also just learned that a schedule meeting between the two (Presidents Zelensky and Duda) at the UN has been cancelled.
The Poles are very wise to Zalenski's Bulls**t. They live next door and see the outright and deep corruption, theft and indifference from the Ukrainians leaders.
ReplyDeleteAll Poland has to do is kick out all the Ukrainians currently mooching off his citizens and Zalenski will be in deep trouble.
The people are tired of Ukraine's lies and distortions, such as the completely failed counteroffensive as a success! They've gained hardly any ground since it started. But all the Ukraine government folks are riding around in Benzes, BMW's, etc. Where'd that cash come from.

ReplyDeleteRussian troll right on time with the 'spin'.
Reality is, the Polish president is correct, but not for the spin that you put on it. They have to protect their own interests, which also includes safeguarding Ukraine's sovereignty against a bullish Russia. But this does not preclude them going against their own national interests, and they are right to pursue this.
Poland remains as Ukraine's steadfast ally, but there's boiling bitterness and frustrations brought about as a result of the war that creates tensions. For now, I don't see that putting a dent in Poland's efforts to assist Ukraine where-possible.
At least there is someone out there who sees the obvious.Thank God for that.
