Three EU Neighbors Block Ukrainian Grain Imports After EU Ban Expires

• The EU ban on Ukrainian grain imports into five border countries expired, leading Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia to impose their own restrictions.
• Ukraine agreed to implement export controls to prevent surges, while Bulgaria voted to resume imports.
• Ukraine welcomed the EU decision not to extend the ban, but warned neighbors against unilateral measures.
• The trade restrictions were originally imposed due to concerns Ukrainian imports were undercutting local farmers' prices.
• The future of Ukrainian agricultural exports and their impact on regional markets remains uncertain.
