Bulgarian farmers carry on protests against resuming the imports of Ukrainian grains, accepted by the Bulgarian government after the European Commission decided not to extend the ban on such imports. In turn, Bucharest continues to allow the transit of Ukrainian grains, but has introduced one-month import restrictions until Kyiv comes up with a plan for its exports. The measure persuaded Romanian farmers to give up their protests. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary unilaterally banned imports of Ukrainian grain, prompting Kyiv to complain against them at the World Trade Organisation. We have more on this after the news.
