On Tuesday 19 September, Andrzej Duda, President of Poland, defended Warsaw's decision to impose unilateral restrictions on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products, which Kyiv is challenging at the World Trade Organisation.
Details: The President of Poland compared Ukraine to a drowning man, explaining that "anyone who has ever taken part in rescuing a drowning man knows that he is incredibly dangerous, that he can drag you down to the depths."
Quote: "This is a bit like the situation between Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine is under Russian attack, undoubtedly in a very difficult situation, clutching at whatever he can. Should we be offended by it [Ukraine]? Of course, you can be indignant about it," Duda said.

Ukraine is not quite like a drowning man. More like a man who is being robbed. Ukraine need not be destroyed and could accept loss of territory and sue for peace.
Thousands and thousands of Ukrainians have gone to Poland and are killing their economy.
The PR whitewash and fraud that the USA and NATO HQ have spread across Western media is starting to crack.
Careful Andrzej Duda or you’ll be added to the Ukraine hit list.
More like a bunch of cry babies that don’t like their toys taken back by a the larger child they belong to
It seems like someone could make a lot of money by buying the Ukrainian grain cheaply, loading it into a vessel in Gdansk, and shipping it to Africa or China. Most of that grain was destined for China or Africa before Russia blew up the ports. It’s just a matter of finding another way to get it there. The Poles could actually benefit in the process because their longshoreman would have to do the loading.
About 1/3 of Ukraine is stolen Polish land from after WW2.
Sure Putin may be Hitler 2.0, but Ukraine grain dumping is the real threat.
Which was populated by -> Ukrainians.
Polish President Duda: Defeating Russia in Ukraine war is the only ‘guarantee of peace’
“It is about making sure that Russia is not able legally to forcefully shift the borders in Europe,” Duda told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview from the United Nations headquarters in New York.
B>“This is the guarantee of peace in the future, also for the United States.” Poland and Ukraine share a lengthy border, an area where the war resonated fiercely on Tuesday after Russian drones struck warehouses in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.
There is no compromise solution, Duda also said – a position shared by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Both leaders took the podium in New York on Tuesday morning, as the United Nations General Debate got underway.
“Russia can be stopped only if it is defeated, and it will be defeated when Ukraine pushes out the Russian army from the occupied territories, thanks to the help of the United States, thanks to the help of the West, and when it regains control over its internationally recognized borders. Only then will we be able to say that Russian imperialism was really defeated,” Duda told Tapper.

HOW much of YOUR property would YOU give up to an intrusive neighbor???
Depends on whether you’re from the North or the South.
I give up property to intrusive political neighbors all the time. Its called taxes (a portion of it going to Ukraine these days).
Between nations there are no taxes, but there are tributes and skirmishes and disputes over land.
Now in my taxes case, I think the government is taking more than they deserve because I think they are wasteful. This does not mean I am gonna die unless I do something crazy like try to take up arms against the IRS.
In the case between Ukraine and Russia they have been fighting over the territory for a long time. The violence has stopped when treaties were signed. As Ukraine, and most people see it Russia violated the treaty by this latest attack. Russia has claimed they aren't in violation and have some rational. The details got pretty deep when I tried to read the various treaties and negotiations, but I do tend to agree the Russians were likely in the wrong. But the way some people seem to put it is that its just that Russia decided to attack for no rational reason out of the blue. While I don't think they were justified, that is not what happened.
