Polish-Ukrainian intergovernmental consultations began on Thursday morning in Warsaw. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal are discussing agriculture and the situation on Poland's border with Ukraine, as well as support for Kyiv with ammunition, among other issues. Our reporter, Agata Dura, is monitoring the event to bring you the latest.
“This is an unusual intergovernmental consultation; Ukraine is, after all, at war. Usually, this kind of consultation is prepared over many weeks; all aspects of cooperation and relations are discussed,” Jan Grabiec, head of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) earlier.
“In view of the difficult situation and increased risks in Ukraine, we expected this to be a simplified consultation, but we have information at the moment that almost the entire Ukrainian government will be represented. We, of course, are ready to undertake them [the consultations] through our respective ministries,” he added.
Among the most important topics of the discussions, the official mentioned agriculture, infrastructure, defense, and security issues.
“However, it is difficult to expect any breakthrough from these talks, any particular agreement, for example, on agricultural issues. We are in dialogue all the time, but both sides—at least for today—are not fully satisfied,” he pointed out.
