Poland will not lift its unilateral ban on Ukrainian grain imports despite pressure from the European Commission, Agriculture Minister Stefan Krajewski said on Friday. Krajewski said Ukrainian grain should be directed toward third-country markets rather than remaining in Europe and affecting Polish farmers and food processors. He also expressed skepticism about increasing grain transit through Poland without additional port capacity. The dispute comes as Ukraine seeks alternative export routes following disruptions to Black Sea shipments and as agricultural imports become a growing political issue ahead of Poland’s 2027 parliamentary elections. Opposition party Law and Justice has criticised Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government over the 2025 EU-Ukraine trade agreement, while the European Commission says the deal contains safeguards for sensitive products and has urged Poland to lift its restrictions. #ukraine, #poland, #russiaukrainewar, #ukrainiangrain, #graincrisis, #polandukraine
