Poland will allocate 20 million euros to support the “Graine from Ukraine” program, which will deliver food from Ukraine to poor countries in Asia and Africa, said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
“We want to support this initiative, so we are allocating 20 million euros to support President Zelenski’s initiative … We must continue supporting such initiatives of the Ukrainian president because Ukraine is suffering – and at the same time Zelenski is preparing this very generous initiative to help countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East,” Moravetski said at a press conference following the international summit on food security in Kiev on Saturday.
Also, he said, over the past few months Poland has been preparing special ways of solidarity for comprehensive support for Ukraine, including support regarding exports of goods, food, etc.
“We have prepared special ways of solidarity over the last few months, because Ukraine requires not only military support or financial support, but comprehensive support. Support in terms of exports of goods, food products,” he said.
The Polish prime minister also noted that his country “cannot go back to business as usual with Russia, because that would mean that Poland would not pay attention to Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
In addition, he stressed that Poland would continue to support Ukrainians in their heroic struggle against the Russian aggressor.
“We will never lay down our arms, we will not stop helping Ukraine’s heroic struggle, its struggle against the barbaric regime. Ukraine must be successful. I am confident of Ukraine’s victory. And let 2023 be the year of victory and restoration of Ukraine,” Moravetsky concluded.
