Another point disconnected from above.

Zelensky's legal attack on Poland for tariffs on Ukrainian grain is astonishing and, imo, a huge mistake. He's completely ignoring the fact that Poland is a massivey important supporter - both militarily and politically - for Ukraine 2) Position as most important transit point for supplies to Ukr 3) The uocoming Polish election and the importance of farmers support for the current government 4) Poland's right to levy tariffs on products that risk disrupting its producers ( I write that as a personal opinion as I am not certain of legal position ).

I really really hope that this doesn't mean he is losing touch with (political ) reality as that could be disastrous: it is already a self-inflicted wound.
I kind of gathered at some point down the line, a situation like this would happen, that Zelensky would ruffle an ally's feathers Just wondering who else will gradually withdraw support, perhaps its naivety on Zelensky's part. this situation could have a knock on effect on food prices here in the UK?? Putin' is probably chuckling quietly to himself.

Here is another question if Zelensky apologises to the Poles, and stops what hes doing, then it be back to business as usual...

cheers
