Why are they embargoing Ukraine? I would figure in the very least Poland could pass the grain to the next person, considering the massive shortage
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."
