The Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm called for blocking Ukraine's accession to the EU
Piotr Zgorzelski, Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm, called for a veto on Ukraine’s accession to the EU, citing the threat to the Polish agricultural sector and competition for regional leadership.
“Kyiv’s membership in the European Union will deal a blow to the Polish agricultural sector. Furthermore, the Ukrainian side is becoming increasingly assertive, viewing itself as a regional leader,” he stated.
Zgorzelski represents the Polish Peasants’ Party (PSL), whose constituency consists of farmers, which is why his rhetoric toward Ukraine is as harsh as possible.

Warsaw has reacted to the decision to rename a Ukrainian military unit. This concerns an elite unit of the Special Operations Forces, which, according to reports, was named in honor of the Heroes of the UPA. This sparked a critical reaction in Polish society and political circles.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced private consultations with Ukraine regarding the possible naming of one of the Special Operations Forces units “Heroes of the UPA.” According to him, this issue is being discussed through diplomatic channels.
