Details: Zelenskyy stated that the events on the Polish-Ukrainian border "cannot be treated as something normal or routine".

Quote: "Only 5% of our agricultural exports crosses the Polish border. So in reality the problem is not grain, but politics. Near Kupiansk, not far from the Russian border, where Russian artillery goes on pounding day and night, the news from the Polish border looks like mockery."

Zelenskyy noted that joint rational decisions are needed to solve this problem: "joint decisions made by us and the Poles above all, as well as everyone in Europe who is concerned with Europe’s fate".
