In a wide-ranging interview, he also warned that “only Putin” would be “happy” with a UK-EU trade war over the Brexit deal for Northern Ireland.

Morawiecki said that this was “part of [Mr Putin’s] strategy” in order to “create ripple effects in Northern Africa and huge migration waves”.
His warning was echoed by the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, who told delegates in Davos that Russia was using “hunger and grain to wield power”.
