Poland is Ukraine's friend only on paper. But when "friendship" starts to hurt their profits, they'll be the first to butter up Putin.
Grain is another matter, a controversial one, and unfortunately, also has to do with the elections. But you also have to understand the Polish farmers who make their living from these grain sales and suddenly their source of income has disappeared because the Polish market has been flooded with supplies from the east. I am not a supporter of this embargo, but I am aware that the issue is complex and that it cannot all be reduced to "Poland is Ukraine’s friend only on paper."
I am responding to this so that some person less familiar with the topic does not form an incorrect opinion. The reality is that Poland has donated incredible amounts of military equipment, humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and has introduced financial and legal assistance to those who have already fled Ukraine. I don't know what your comment is aimed at, but it is simply a lie. I myself have volunteered at refugee aid stations, along with thousands of Warsaw residents, so I can confirm that Polish people are really helpful.
