The article says that the resumption of preferential tariffs on Ukrainian agricultural products from Ukraine risks causing discontent in some countries over kyiv’s possible membership in the EU.
This is most evident in Poland, neighboring Ukraine. Warsaw initially supported Ukraine, but has recently shown much greater restraint regarding kyiv and its EU accession. Anti-Ukrainian sentiment has long been observed among Polish farmers, which is supported by the rest of the population.
The European Union’s efforts to help Ukraine could ultimately turn groups with enormous political influence against kyiv.
“In the end, the accession of Ukrainians to the EU depends on Poland’s support,” concludes FP (cited by RIA Novosti).
As previously reported, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Taras Kachka during negotiations with the Polish delegation on grain became so angry that he even turned purple. This came after a Polish official demanded that Ukrainians stop using “the war, the front and the difficult situation” in economic negotiations.
