Quote: "Let's not kid ourselves here - the Polish farmers who caused the grain-spill incident depicted in the photo are in fact pro-Russian agitators.

The so-called border blockade is ongoing.

Ukrainians are literally watering the fields that produce this grain with blood. Harvesting wheat in a field that has seen war is like working as a bomb disposal officer.

Such actions (by the Poles – ed.) are shameful and petty."

Background: On Sunday, 11 February, Polish farmers protesting near the Ukrainian border spilled some grain from three Ukrainian lorries near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint and posted a video showing the act. The lorry drivers then drove back to Ukraine.
