Poland\u2019s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has escalated his rhetoric with the Ukrainian president over the two countries’ ongoing spat over grain exports, telling Volodymyr Zelensky never to \u201cinsult Poles again\u201d after the latter suggested his neighbor was postering over disputes on grain exports.<\/p>\n
The Polish leader hit out at Zelensky after the Ukrainian leader made snide remarks at Poland at the United Nations\u2019 general assembly this week, saying the dispute was \u201cpolitical theater\u201d and that \u201csome of our friends in Europe\u201d have \u201cmade a thriller from the grain”.<\/p>\n
On Friday, at a rally in Swidnik, Poland, Morawiecki took the bait. \u201cI want to tell President Zelensky never to insult Poles again, as he did recently during his speech at the UN,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Polish people will never allow this to happen, and defending the good name of Poland is not only my duty and honor, but also the most important task of the Polish government,\u201d the Polish prime minister added.<\/p>\n
