Polish basketball star stands tall for 'freedom apples'

"From my early childhood, I ate a lot of apples. Look how tall I grew,” Gordat, the 2 metre 11 cms tall Pole says in a new video in support of Poland's apple growers.

The EU has had to compensate EU farmers after Russia retaliated to EU and US sanctions by banning European and American food imports.

Earlier in August, Polish Ambassador to the United States, Ryszard Schnepf, asked Americans to join him in requesting the US Government to allow imports of ‘freedom apples’.

“Did you know that Poland is the world’s largest exporter of apples? Actually it was,” Schnepf said. “Today, the sale is suffering due to the Russian sanctions applied in revenge for our support to free Ukraine.” (pg)
