Keeping in mind the protest of Polish farmers, Zelensky said, we are ready to talk

Farmers in India are once again agitating for their demands including minimum support price. But it is not only India where farmers are protesting, Poland is also in a similar situation. The farmers here are especially protesting against cheap grain imports from Ukraine and the environmental policies of the European Union. For example, the government imports grain cheaply from neighboring Ukraine instead of buying it from local farmers. This is why farmers have been on strike for the last several days and have also blocked some roads with Ukraine. Seeing the protests intensifying, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has decided to meet the leaders of Poland. For this he invited the leaders to meet on their common border.

You can meet before the day

Ukraine's president said on social media on Wednesday evening that he hoped a fixed-term meeting between Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the EU representative could take place before February 24. Saturday will mark two years since Russia's attack on Ukraine.

i'm ready to talk border

Zelensky said, 'This is a matter of national security. That's why I am ready to talk on the border. There have been many misunderstandings between us. We should not humiliate Ukrainian or Polish farmers. Now unity is needed. We need solution. Ukraine and Poland, all of Europe, also needs a solution.

Slogans raised in support of Putin

Zelensky became angry when slogans and banners in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin were raised during the demonstration. He said Putin's support for protests against Ukraine is unacceptable. However, there has been no response from the Polish government regarding this meeting.

This is the demand of the farmers

Protests took place in several Polish cities, including Gdańsk and Kraków, where farmers drove their tractors and honked horns. They have threatened to continue the protest until their demands are met. Apart from blocking border crossings, they also disrupted highways. Their main demands are from the government of Prime Minister Toscani to pull Poland out of the Green Deal and to stop the import of agricultural goods from Ukraine. In protest, around a thousand farmers took to the streets with 500 tractors and other farm vehicles. Local media reports showed farmers marching in the streets carrying Polish flags, banners and, in some cases, flyers. Farmers also gathered in front of the regional government headquarters, where they set tires on fire and filled the entire area with smoke.
