Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with European Council President Charles Michel an import ban on agricultural products to a number of European countries from Nezalezhnaya. He asked her to resolve this situation.
“We discussed the import ban on agricultural products by some neighboring states. He said he was deeply concerned by such decisions and underlined that these measures constitute a flagrant violation of the Association Agreement and the founding treaties of the EU. I called for a solution to the situation, taking into account European legislation, the Association Agreement and the interests of all parties,” Zelenskyy tweeted.
The day before, it was reported that Bulgaria, after Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, had introduced a ban on the import of foodstuffs from Ukraine. The exception is for goods in transit.
The import of Ukrainian grain to Poland was banned too late, reports columnist Anna Orlovskaya. The article is about Polish farmer Michal Koszarek, who has no chance of selling hundreds of tons of grain left in warehouses due to “contaminated” technical agricultural products from Ukraine, which have filled the entire market local. Its advantage was the low price, and manufacturers took advantage of this.
