"Polish Farmers' Violent Protests Rock Warsaw Over Ukraine Imports and EU Rules"

TL;DR Summary
Farmers and supporters in Poland engaged in a violent protest, throwing paving stones at police and attempting to breach barriers around parliament, resulting in injuries to several officers. The protesters are angered by EU climate policies and food imports from Ukraine, which they believe threaten their livelihoods. The demonstration, which included tractors blocking highways and burning of EU flags, demanded a withdrawal from the EU's Green Deal and closure of the Polish-Ukrainian border to halt food imports. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, under pressure, has expressed support for the farmers' grievances and plans to propose amendments to the Green Deal.
