«Today we say a simple, human «thank you» to Polish women. There are statistical data that after the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine in Poland, more than 80% of women became involved in helping Ukraine. That is, in one way or another, they did everything they could to help Ukraine. This is a crazy number, it is almost everyone who is adult and healthy, doing something for Ukraine. And we wanted to make a gesture on this day to at least somehow thank them for it,» said one of the organizers of the event,» Nataliia Panchenko.
It will be recalled that at that time Polish farmers continued to block checkpoints on the Ukrainian border. On February 11, in front of the «Yahodyn — Dorohusk» checkpoint, Polish farmers dumped part of the grain from three Ukrainian trucks.
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine condemned the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian grain by Polish protesters on the Ukrainian-Polish border.
On February 13, it became known that law enforcement officers in Poland opened a case against protesting farmers who spilled Ukrainian grain on the ground.
Also, the Minister of Agriculture of Poland, Czeslaw Sekerski, asked for an apology from Ukraine for the incident with scattered grain, which happened on Sunday on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
