EU and Kyiv condemn unilateral bans that aim to protect local farmers amid glut and price crash
Slovakia has joined Poland and Hungary by unilaterally halting imports of grain and other food products from Ukraine to protect its farmers in decisions Kyiv and the European Commission have criticised as unacceptable.
The EU would expect the central European states “to come up with some explanation”, a senior official said, after Poland and Hungary announced their bans over the weekend and Slovakia followed suit on Monday. Bulgaria has also said it is considering a ban.
