"Polish Farmers End Ukraine Border Protest Following Government Agreement"

TL;DR Summary
Polish farmers have ceased their blockade of the Medyka-Shehyni border crossing with Ukraine after the government agreed to their financial support demands, although restrictions on Ukrainian imports were not included. The deal includes corn subsidies, fixed agricultural taxes, and increased loans, pending legislative approval and the European Commission's consent. Despite the agreement, farmers and Polish truckers continue to express concerns over the impact of Ukrainian imports and the potential EU membership of Ukraine on Poland's economy.
