INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Poland&s prime minister told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday not to &insult& Poles, maintaining harsh rhetoric towards
Kyiv after the Polish president had sought to defuse a simmering row over grain imports.Poland decided last week to extend a ban on
Ukrainian grain imports, shaking Kyiv&s relationship with a neighbour that has been seen as one of its staunchest allies since Russia
invaded Ukraine in February last year, Reuters reported.Zelenskiy angered his neighbours when he told the United Nations General Assembly
in New York that Kyiv was working to preserve land routes for grain exports, but that the &political theatre& around grain imports was only
helping Moscow.I… want to tell President Zelenskiy never to insult Poles again, as he did recently during his speech at the U.N.,& Prime
Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told an election rally.Poland holds a parliamentary election on Oct
15, and Morawiecki&s ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party has come in for criticism from the far right for what it says is the
government&s subservient attitude to Ukraine.Analysts say this has forced PiS, which looks set to remain the biggest party but may not
secure a majority, to adopt a more confrontational approach to Kyiv in the closely fought campaign.Earlier on Friday, President Andrzej
Duda, a PiS ally, had said the dispute between Poland and Ukraine over grain imports would not significantly affect good bilateral
relations, in an apparent move to ease tensions.I have no doubt that the dispute over the supply of grain from Ukraine to the Polish market
is an absolute fragment of the entire Polish-Ukrainian relations,& Duda told a business conference.I don''t believe that it can have a
significant impact on them, so we need to solve this matter between us.The post Polish PM tells Ukraine&s Zelenskiy ‘never to insult Poles
again& first appeared on Ariana News.
