EU condemns Poland and Hungary's ban on Ukrainian food imports.
TL;DR Summary
The European Commission has stated that unilateral trade action by EU member states is unacceptable after Poland and Hungary announced bans on grain and other food imports from Ukraine to protect their local agricultural sectors. The bans were put in place after logistical bottlenecks caused large quantities of Ukrainian grain to stay in Central European states, hitting prices and sales for local farmers. The Polish ban, which came into effect on Saturday evening, will also apply to the transit of these products through the country.
