Ukraine and Poland called in the ambassadors from each other"s countries on Tuesday as a dispute escalated after a foreign policy adviser to Poland"s president said Kyiv should show more appreciation for Warsaw"s support in its war with Russia.

The adviser, Marcin Przydacz, also said the Polish government must defend the interests of the country"s farmers - a reference to a ban on imports of Ukrainian commodities which will expire next month.

“Summoning the Polish ambassador, who was the only [diplomat] that remained in Kyiv side of the day Russia invaded Ukraine, to the Ukrainian MFA, should never have taken place. In international politics, in the face of the ongoing war, and considering the massive support Poland lend to Ukraine, such mistakes should not happen.

We will always defend Poland’s good name, its security, and the interest of no other country will ever stand above the interest of the Republic [of Poland]”, - tweeted Mateusz Morawiecki, the Polish Prime Minister.
