Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, states that it is difficult to find a more pro-Ukrainian politician in Europe than himself, however, "problems with food security should be taken into account," according to his statement at a joint briefing with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.

"It's hard to find a more pro-Ukrainian politician in Europe than me, and it's hard to find a more pro-Ukrainian nation in Europe than the Polish, but we must also remember the interests of Poland's and Europe's food security," Tusk said.

He emphasized that he would like to discuss with Macron the security of Polish and French farmers, which directly translates into the security of both countries.

One of the topics, according to the Polish Prime Minister, will also be energy and "a great opportunity for joint projects."

Tusk added that Poland and France should "take on really great responsibility and take very seriously the responsibility for the security and future of Europe."

Ukrainian-Polish border blockade

Yesterday, February 11, Polish farmers, during the blockade of the border with Ukraine, stopped three Ukrainian trucks and spilled part of the grain they were exporting from them. The Ukrainian side has already reacted to the incident, turning to the police and calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
