Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, his Ukrainian counterpart Denis Shmygal and their delegations pose for a photo in Warsaw ahead of bilateral talks on a dispute over farming imports and blockades by disgruntled Polish farmers on the shared border. While Poland has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine, ties have soured over the past months amid ongoing economic disputes, and as farmers complain imports from Ukraine have undercut prices for their own produce.

Polish Prime Minister Donal Tusk welcomes his Ukrainian counterpart Denis Shmygal in Warsaw for bilateral talks over farm imports. Polish farmers have been blocking border crossings with Ukraine since last month to protest at what they say is unfair competition from goods from the war-torn country. The border blockades and grain dispute have strained ties between the neighbours, even as Poland has shown staunch support for Ukraine since the Russian invasion. IMAGES
