EU Transit Blockade Threatens Ukraine’s 2027 Harvest as Poland and Romania Refuse Aid

Ukraine’s agriculture minister, Taras Vysotskyi, appealed to Brussels for €1.1 billion in subsidies and expanded transit routes to move grain trapped by the Black Sea blockade. Poland and Romania rejected the request, citing overloaded infrastructure and the need to protect domestic farmers. Vysotskyi warned that without aid, Ukraine’s sown area could shrink by 35-40% next year, potentially triggering a global food crisis.

This shift follows recent aerial incursions and rising tensions between Warsaw and Moscow, reflecting a broader strategy to strengthen deterrence amid perceived hybrid warfare threats from the east.
