Grain dispute


"The Eastern European countries claim Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected their domestic farming industries, with farmers complaining they are being undercut by Ukrainian grain imports. In 2022, they rose to 2.45m tonnes compared to 100,000 tonnes in a normal year."

"But this week, tensions reached boiling point after Mr Zelensky told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that Eastern European countries were feigning solidarity by indirectly supporting Russia by banning grain imports."

"Poland then summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to its foreign ministry to protest against Mr Zelensky’s comments. Hours later, Warsaw announced it would no longer be supplying weapons to Ukraine."

Poland's farming industry has been destabilized by Ukrainian grain imports. "The Eastern European countries claim Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected their domestic farming industries, with farmers complaining they are being undercut by Ukrainian grain imports."

How else can Ukraine distribute the resources it has without being a burden to its neighbors: Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgari?  Economic logistics is another potential threat to a war that rages with Russia. Ukraine is fighting in isolation while help comes with conditions.
