"Polish Farmers Reach Agreement to End Ukraine Border Blockade, Easing Truck Delays"

Polish farmers have ended their blockade at the Ukrainian border after reaching an agreement with the government for subsidies and other financial support measures. The protests, which began in November, were a response to the impact of Ukrainian food imports on Polish farmers' incomes and were part of broader challenges faced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government. While the farmers' blockade has ceased, truckers continue their protest over economic grievances. The agreement includes a corn production subsidy, a lower agricultural tax, and preferential liquidity loans, pending legislative approval and EU consent.
