The European Union is rushing to calm angry farmers in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria. Measures taken by Eastern European authorities to ban Ukrainian grain imports threaten to undermine EU solidarity.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has proposed to prepare a new package of financial aid of 100 million euros for farmers in Eastern Europe.
