Warsaw has imposed a "temporary" ban on its neighbor's agricultural products, accusing it of violating a deal reached by the two countries this month. Ukraine's Agriculture Ministry claimed the move violated an agreement reached last week in the wake of mass protests by Polish farmers. Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski insisted the country and its leaders remain "unchanged friends and allies of Ukraine." Ukraine's Agriculture Ministry called upon Warsaw to strike a new agreement on the matter as soon as possible, addressing the concerns of both sides. Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski insisted the country and its leaders remain "unchanged friends and allies of Ukraine." The government of Poland has passed a regulation that prohibits the entry and importation of grain and other types of food from Ukraine. Hungary also rolled out a ban of its own on Ukrainian agricultural imports.

Multiple Eastern European nations, including Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, have sounded the alarm over the inflow of cheap agricultural goods from Ukraine. Last year, agricultural products from Ukraine were allowed duty-free entry into the bloc, but much of the produce ended up in Eastern Europe, creating logistical bottlenecks and sending prices into a downward spiral. This has caused logistical bottlenecks and sent prices into a downward spiral, affecting local producers.
