A grain deal turned ugly
A glut of Ukrainian cereals and other crops has nearly halved sale prices for farmers across Eastern and Central Europe, leaving them and their governments caught between solidarity with Ukraine and their own survival. The countries hit hardest — Poland, Romania and Slovakia — are among Ukraine’s most stalwart European allies.
The E.U. had sought to help Ukraine export its harvest and ease what the U.N. described last year as an “unprecedented global hunger crisis.” But market forces, turbocharged by profiteering, turned that ambitious effort into a source of political division and economic distress in Europe’s formerly Communist eastern lands.
The mess has created an opening for far-right groups that favor Russia, generated serious frictions within the European bloc and soured moods in a region that had been a bastion of mostly unflagging support for Ukraine. A proposal from the European Commission of 100 million euros to compensate farmers has done little to assuage the tensions.
Reaction: Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria have imposed tight restrictions on importing Ukrainian grain, with only Romania stopping short of an outright ban. Moscow has threatened to not renew its own Black Sea grain deal if the G7 moves to block exports to Russia.
