Polish farmers have initiated a blockade at the border with Slovakia, targeting Ukrainian exports, particularly grain. This action is part of a broader trade dispute, with Poland and now France advocating for increased restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural products within the European Union. The embargo and blockade are seen as tools in a trade war against Ukraine, a country currently engaged in defense against Russia. Stepan Cherniavskyi commented on the situation, highlighting the impact on Ukraine. France's support for Poland's stance threatens to complicate negotiations for extending Kyiv's free-trade access to the EU. French President Macron and Polish Prime Minister Tusk have reportedly reached an agreement on this issue during a meeting in Berlin, as per sources cited by Politico.
