EU Implements Restrictions on Ukrainian Grain Imports Following Farmer Protests

Eastern European farmers are expressing frustration and fury over the import of Ukrainian grain, which they say is hurting their local economies. Bulgaria, Hungary, and Slovakia have called for an import ban on Ukrainian grain, but this violates European law. The EU has offered over €150 million in emergency aid to farmers, but this is dependent on the withdrawal of restrictions. Romania and Poland have suspended the ban on the transit of Ukrainian grain after the EU's announcement.
