Ukraine's ambassador to Poland condemned protesters who threw Ukrainian grain out of a train for disrespecting Ukrainian farmers.
Ukraine's Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Zvarych reacted to the incident with Polish protesters dumping Ukrainian grain on railroad tracks, condemning such actions, UNN reports.
We strongly condemn the scattering of Ukrainian grain by protesters in Medina. The police must respond decisively and punish those who break the law. It is also disrespectful to the work of Ukrainian farmers in the face of Russian aggression, to themselves and to other people. Shame and disgrace, gentlemen!
