Polish farmers have been protesting against what they describe as unfair competition from Ukraine and European Union environment regulations.
Around 160 tons of Ukrainian grain were destroyed at a Polish railway station amid large-scale protests, which a senior Ukrainian official said on Sunday was an act of “impunity and irresponsibility.”
“Those who have damaged Ukrainian grain must be found, neutralized, and punished. Two friendly civilized European states are interested in this,” Kubrakov said on the social media platform X.
Previous incidents of grain being spilled from trains took place on the border with Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that it was important for Ukraine to maintain close relations with Poland, but that Kyiv was also ready to defend businesses that have been hurt by border blockades by Polish protesters.
