During the meeting with journalists, Tusk referred to the farmers’ protests. However, his main focus was on their blocking of important aid routes to Ukraine.
– To ensure 100 percent guarantee that military aid – equipment, ammunition, humanitarian aid, medical aid, will reach the Ukrainian side without any delays, we will include border crossings with Ukraine on the list of critical infrastructure and indicated sections of roads and railway tracks. It is a matter of the next few hours, said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister appealed for understanding “when we will implement decisions resulting from including border crossings and some road sections on the list of critical infrastructure.”
Farmers’ protests
– I would like us to be able to separate these two issues in the internal and international debate. The first is unquestionable assistance to Ukraine in its military effort. And the second issue is how to protect Polish farmers and the Polish market once morest the negative effects of liberalization tradei.e. opening the border for duty-free trade in agricultural products – not only that, but this is what hurts us the most – said Donald Tusk.
The Prime Minister said that he “continues in his efforts to secure the interests of Polish farmers.”
– I do not stop trying to protect the interests of Polish farmers. We are constantly talking regarding it both with the Ukrainian side and with the European Commission. Aid for Ukraine also has a commercial and financial dimension. But Poland is the most harmed by this and Polish agricultural producers, he pointed out.
However, he added that we cannot allow those who openly and they shamelessly support Putinthey serve Russian propaganda and discredit the Polish state, they discredit us, Poles, and they also discredit the protesters.
