They do this yet they still import Russian grain. That is the same quality as the Ukranian ones.
EDIT: Apparently Poland imports more Russian grain than Ukranian grain. This makes the current events even more tragic.
EDIT CORRECTION: As [Franz_the_clicker](https://www.reddit.com/user/Franz_the_clicker/) pointed out that Ukranian report about Poland importing 12,000,000 tons of grain from Russia is not correct and is in fact 4,000 tons that Russia supplies instead. Ukraine supplies 4,000,000 tons to Poland as I understand from the article.
If anybody wonders how Hitler managed to conquer almost all of Europe. This is European solidarity in a nutshell.
Just disgusting. Shame on them!
Why are we fighting each other and wasting ressources?
Idk why but this scares me on a visceral level
If twenty random guys would come up with the idea of cutting off a road, get their occupants out of their vehicles and vandalize them, the police would get there on the spot and arrest them all with the approval of the population and politicians, instead, these guys seem to have a free hand to do whatever they want just for using the right to protest as an excuse.
thats just stupid
Idiots.
It’s shameful for my country. We did so much to help ukraine and now minority that has no knowledge about situation completely ruins our reputation.
idiots
HEY !
That’s my pizza dough lying there on the floor. Morons!
Why does the cost of living keep rising :/
Make them pay for that grain. Stopping transport is one thing, this is something else altogether.
So where is law enforcement? Vandalism and theft are now allowed in Poland? Who will be paying for this grain?
Let me guess. They have political support, otherwise they couldn’t do this
My parents taught me to never waste food. Europe is seeing rising prices for food and bread everywhere. Whatever their political position, that’s freaking barbaric
Ukraine witnessed Holodomor just century ago, that’s painful to watch without crying
We all know name of the tovarishtch who pays for their “service” …
It’s a difficult issue, farmers are basically done in Europe since Ukraine is bound to join the EU and outcompete all farmers who won’t specialise. Ukraine has arguably the best farming grounds in the world. Governments see this coming and want to squeeze the farmers now into other professions gradually. Otherwise when Ukraine joins millions will be outcompeted and end up without jobs in a short span of time. I get why farmers see this as the government attacking them, but also it is inevitable that when Ukraine joins the EU they will have no chance to compete.
Idiots
The train was going to Germany
treat grain and bread and other people’s labor with respect.
They destroy and break other people’s property in clear violation of laws – no reaction from police and politicians…. who benefits ?
How is that allowed by police? Is it possible to do anything you want to those cars? Would the police intervene if there was something other than Ukrainian grain?
At a time when the invasion is already driving up the cost of food around the world, let’s waste a shitload of it. Clever.
What the fuck is wrong with humanity..
Putin to hell! Trump and Orban to jail!
That’s destruction of private property. Where are the police?
I don’t think that they know or they even care if Poland imports more from Russia or Ukraine.
It’s about that both of these are much cheaper but horrible quality (they do not have to meet EU retuirements).
So now polish farmers have to fulfil EU requirements and by that the price is getting higher so they have troubles with selling the grain for reasonable ammount of cash.
According to the TV propaganda they don’t speak that much about grain from Russia. It was always about “Ukraine’s low qualtiy grain”.
But yea, I understand that. Imagine if you would produce for example Milk. EU told you that it has to fulfil their witsh (being enough white, fat, smells good, anything stupid) cause in other case it will be forbidden to sell AND THEN they would import cheaper milk outside of EU which would not meet these requirements so noone would buy my milk…
Who needs enemies with “friends” like these?
How that helps?
Hope these cunts are conscripted to the front line if Russia ever get near Poland.
Are they like farmers in Romania (my country)? Upset at the Ukrainian grains while the ones that are harvested in Romania are sold abroad because the earnings are higher this way and they request subsidies, tax cuts and all sort of privileges which are not encountered in any other fields of the economy combined?
Are they affected by the fact that now the profit rate is no longer above 70% and that is now between 30-40%? Many farmers I know don’t have direct loses, but they can’t sell now at the prices they want. They had grains in deposits and wanted to sell them whenever they wanted at the highest price and this strategy turned against them.
In the meantime, local population doesn’t support the farmers knowing that whatever tax cuts and subsidies are provided, these will not lead to lower prices for local population, but will only increase the profit and that’s it.
Can we arrest those russian bots finally? Thats far exceeding any justified claims they had.
One of many reasons why this is an outrage is that the ukranian famine is still in the memories of lots of people in Ukraine. Wasting food is a BIG nono there.
Hoo boy. Few next months will be fun….
Wtf man they are wasting food for a fucking stunt?
I guess now polish “farmers” can just block the borders and demand free toilet paper whenever they want to take a shit. Everything to not work the fields, but hey, it’s the Ukrainian grain that is bad, don’t mix it up.
Imagine the comments if Vegan or Climate protesters were blocking roads and destroying others property
What’s the point of this?
The thing is that this grain does not meet the EU standards and as such was only meant to pass through Poland. However the previous ruling political party PIS together with the exporters (although I’m not sure as to who actually sold it, it’s just what i heard) profited from selling this grain in Poland and as such it flooded the market, lowering it’s price resulting in Polish farmers having to sell their grain at a loss. This resulted in these protests
