The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the blocking of the border with Ukraine by the Poles has no justification, no matter what slogans accompany such actions. This was announced by Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko.

According to him, land borders remain important in the face of Russia's aggression, and the actions of Polish protesters and some radical politicians undermine the Ukrainian economy and ability to resist Russia.

He emphasized that the border between Ukraine and Poland is also the border of the European Union, which should not be held hostage to political interests. 

"We consider unacceptable the aggressive attitude of the protesters towards Ukrainians and Ukrainian goods crossing the Polish-Ukrainian border. The anti-Ukrainian slogans heard at the border confirm the politically motivated nature of the action. Its goal is to provoke further aggravation of bilateral relations," said Nikolenko.

The diplomat emphasized that the protesters do not in any way mention the threats related to the import of grain and other products from Russia and other countries. 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the Polish authorities to ensure the unblocking of the border and take measures to stop anti-Ukrainian rhetoric. 

"In the face of external challenges, it is very important to maintain the level of solidarity that Ukraine and Poland have built in recent years. Ukrainians and Poles must stand up for good neighborly relations, resist any attempts to undermine mutual trust and put the security of our countries under attack," he summarized.
