Poland’s President Andrzej Duda called for de-escalation of a dispute with Ukraine, saying it shouldn’t overshadow economic cooperation between the two nations.

“I don’t believe that one political and legal dispute can ruin the achievements you’ve made,” Duda told a Polish-Ukrainian business summit in Poznan on Friday. “I have no doubt that the dispute over the supply of grain is a small fraction of what constitutes Polish-Ukrainian relations and it shouldn’t affect them in any real way.”
