🇱🇹Ukraine has not achieved the result the West had hoped for, says Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonite.

"There will be no mistake in saying that during the war in Ukraine we hoped for a completely different outcome than we have today. And, unfortunately, this means that we have to start reckoning with the fact that the scenario will not develop in the way we wanted at the beginning and before Kiev's offensive actions," the politician said in an interview with LRT.

🇵🇱❌🇺🇦🌾 The new Polish government led by Donald Tusk will maintain the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland - Czesław Siekierski, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.

According to him, the ban will remain in place until new rules are developed at the EU level.

“We must maintain the embargo until conditions are agreed upon that will replace it. I believe that a good solution would be to introduce transport licensing,” the country’s Ministry of Agriculture quoted the minister’s interview with TVP Info.

Siekierski, according to polskieradio24, also spoke about limiting incoming grain, and expressed the opinion that the export of Ukrainian grain should go along a different route than European or Polish.

“Because there is always a certain risk, even during transit, that part of the grain and other agricultural products will remain in Poland,” said the head of the Polish Ministry of Agriculture.
