  2. I can’t read the article..what are the polish doing ?

  5. Anyone who has Poland as friends no longer needs enemies

  6. Thank you, Poland. F***ng big thank you so much. We’ll never forget.

  7. Can someone from Poland give more details on the public opinion inside the country?

  8. The Romanians are building a massive emergency 280mile new road into Ukraine to help with this. God bless em!

  9. The farmers are clearly being targeted by putin psyOps. Why is this not being called out. We saw the same with Brexit.

  10. thanks for stirring shit between ukraine and poland with this suggestive title… it’s polish farmers not just poles. they’re protesting today.

  13. The more Poland helps Ukraine, the faster Ukraine forgetting about the help.

  14. Ok, can you fucking chill? I read most of the comments and the maturity and short-sightedness of some people make me mad! Some people even say it’s some kind of PsyOps from Russia.

    No, it’s not. Polish farmers are a powerful group in Poland. If they are pissed, they will block the entire country and no amount of Police and their batons will change anything, it will make things worse.

    Polish farmers are a union of small-scale farms, that just can’t compete with cheap and mass-produced grain from Ukraine. They will not back down unless their safety is assured.

    As much as we understand the plight Ukraine is in, we still have a country to run despite all of it.

    Some of you forgot how much help direct and indirect was given to Ukraine so far, from us. Normal frigging citizens of Poland.

    Do not project the moods of some disgruntled farmers on the entire country.

    We are not Putinist regime, we won’t just send police after them, we will negotiate until the problem is resolved.

    What they do is extreme I agree, but here we are, the problem is not going to resolve itself.

    In the meantime stop spreading misinformation that Poland turned it’s back on Ukraine, it’s just mean and evil.

  15. I bet Witold Gombrowitcz would have something appropriate to say if he was alive. Poles…. why do you do this to yourself for hundreds of years.

  16. Hope the farmers enjoy the artillery barrages they are asking for in 10 years.

    Russia didn’t stop with Chechnya, georgia, urkaine 2014. do they think they’ll magically stop at poland?

    They have big imperialist goals. Already dont respect poland’s air space by launching cruise missiles through it

  18. Call me a commodity market novice, but:

    I was under the impression that food prices had increased fairly dramatically across the board since 2020 (basically since the pandemic). And grain commodity prices are set globally. Is Ukraine really selling at a discount to boost exports? That seems odd considering high worldwide demand and Ukraine needing every hryvnia it can get. I’d have expected Ukraine to sell grain at the global open market rate (basically the best it can hope for). What that might mean is that Ukraine gets more profit per unit sale because their cost of production is lower, but that doesn’t inherently turn into a loss for Polish farmers.

    If anything, the concern among non-farm communities in most Western countries is that food prices have gotten *too* high, and *that’s* becoming a major political issue. Inflation, particularly food price inflation, is almost certainly going to cause some election losses this year. And because the price is set globally, Ukraine’s sales volume will affect the global price basically *wherever* they sell. If they ship it out by freight ship (which they do also, of course) and sell in Africa or along the Mediterranean, it has the same effect on the global price. So the only way the Polish farmers get to increase the price further at Ukraine’s expense is if they stop Ukraine from shipping it *anywhere,* basically forcing it to rot in storage. And my point above is that that’s not just a financial loss; that’s a major political liability with food prices already being such a sensitive, voter-salient issue.

  19. Sounds to me like a cartel.

    Food prices are skyrocketing in the last few years. That is what these farmers are trying to protect.
