Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk admitted that sometimes he has to be tough with Ukraine. Tusk stressed that as Prime Minister of Poland, he is obliged to protect the fundamental interests of his country.

Earlier, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, previously criticized Polish farmers for blocking the border with Ukraine, as this interferes with military transit. It was also reported that protesting Polish farmers stopped even allowing buses with passengers to pass at one of the checkpoints on the border.
