Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that progress has been made toward meeting farmers' demands for restrictions on cheap Ukrainian imports.
WARSAW, Poland — The prime ministers of Ukraine and Poland said they made progress Thursday toward meeting demands of Polish and western European farmers who want restrictions on cheap Ukrainian food imports that they say undermine their livelihoods, but they announced no breakthrough.
The leaders said some proposals were made during the talks but that more work was needed. Both said it would be helpful if the European Union went forward with a proposed 50% tax on Russian and Belarusian food imports. 'We are looking for solutions that would be good for both sides,' Tusk said.
Shmyhal said that Ukraine has agreed to 'certain limitations' but did not specify them. The EU has opened its doors wide to Ukrainian farm produce to help the country make money from its exports after Russia’s 2022 invasion cut many of its traditional trade routes. However, EU lawmakers recently agreed that quotas could be reintroduced on some Ukrainian foods to address the European farmers’ complaints.
