Lithuanian farmers complain about Russian, not Ukrainian grain

#Lithuanian #farmers said that it is the influx of Russian grain, not Ukrainian crops, that presents a problem for the EU markets, the Lithuanian National Radio (LRT) reported on March 5.

Their colleagues from Poland launched protests against Ukrainian agricultural imports and the EU's Green Deal earlier in February, blocking six border crossings with Ukraine.

Lithuanian farmers complain about Russian, not Ukrainian grain

"These are impressive figures, with over 3 million tons of Russian grain having passed through Latvia and Lithuania combined in 2023," said Ausrys Macijauskas, the head of the Lithuania Association of Grain Growers.

The European Commission said it has not extended the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain products in five EU countries beyond September 15.

However, the Polish prime minister said that #Warsaw will expand the restrictions unilaterally.

This is going to get interesting.
