Zelensky told reporters that he expected decisions to be announced in the near future to ease anger among Polish farmers linked to Ukrainian grain imports, according to news outlets.
He said at a joint news conference with the Polish prime minister that they had discussed the issue of Ukrainian grain during their talks in Warsaw and found a solution to help farmers.
"We have found a way out, I believe that in the coming days and weeks we will finally resolve all issues as there cannot be any questions, any complications between such close partners and real friends as Poland and Ukraine," Zelensky said, as quoted by the Reuters news agency.
Polish Agriculture Minister Henryk Kowalczyk resigned earlier on Wednesday amid protests by farmers over an influx of Ukrainian grain and its impact on prices, according to news reports.
"I have resigned from my post as minister for agriculture and rural development," Kowalczyk announced on Wednesday, blaming the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, for failing to help farmers through measures such as tariffs on Ukrainian grain imports.
"Since it is evident that the farmers' main demand will not be met by the European Commission, I have decided to resign as minister of agriculture and rural development," Kowalczyk said in a statement posted by his office on Wednesday.
Poland has admitted some 2.8 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain since Ukraine's Black Sea ports were blocked following Russia's invasion in February last year, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency has reported.
Due to logistics bottlenecks, large quantities of Ukrainian grain, which is cheaper than that produced in the European Union, remain in central European countries, hurting prices and sales of local farmers, according to a report by Reuters.
At the end of last week, Poland and four other EU countries sent a joint letter to the European Commission, demanding restrictions on Ukrainian grain imports, according to officials.
The move was initiated by Poland's Morawiecki, who had previously criticised the EU executive for failing to deliver on its promise to send grain imported from Ukraine to Middle Eastern and African countries, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
