TL;DR Summary

Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria have imposed temporary bans on imports of cheap grains and farm products from Ukraine, citing concerns over their own farmers' interests. The EU has condemned the measures but promised to solve the problem with money, proposing millions of extra euros to support farmers in the continent. The European Commission has rejected the import bans, but EU officials will discuss the issue this week. The crisis has highlighted divisions within the bloc, with some member states calling for more financial support and investments in improving logistic facilities to support agricultural workers within the EU.
