You give them one finger and they take the whole hand.
Considering millions of refugees those countries host it’s kind of unfair to sue them.
If Ukraine wants to sell its grain in Europe its no problem, but ukranian farmers must accept the same EU requirements and strict production methods as others.
Its not working like they can sell their products for 1/4 price ‘cause they dont need to fit to EU rules otherwise European farmers just going bust..
Really dumb move by Ukraine, it’ll achieve nothing except help populists who will use this against them to show Ukraine as ungrateful.
They’re not in the EU, they don’t even have to meet EU’s regulations, I don’t see a reason why anyone HAS to allow their agricultural products, especially when it causes damage to local producers, they can still transit those goods and sell them elsewhere.
Maybe let the Ukrainian authorities finally understand that they are the ones who need to have good relations with the countries that help them, not the other way around. These countries can do without Ukraine, but I highly doubt that Ukraine can do without them.
>Poland has emphasized, however, that it is only opposed to the import of Ukrainian grain onto its market and remains supportive of such grain transiting across its territory for sale in other markets, especially those outside Europe.
From another article but putting it here to make the picture clear. Poland just doesn’t want to import products of questionable quality that can hurt both consumers and Polish farmers.
Ukraine is really behaving erratically lately, and public opinion is slowly shifting from the unconditional support we showed at the beginning of the war to some reservations
