Ukrainian Grain Destroyed by Polish Protesters Amid Border Protests

The Ukrainian Ministry condemns the actions and invites protesters to witness the hardships of Ukrainian farmers, as police investigate the incidents.

Ukrainian Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food condemns the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian grain by Polish protesters, inviting them to witness the hardships faced by Ukrainian farmers.
Polish farmers have expanded their protests to additional checkpoints on the Ukraine border, affecting traffic and leading to a police investigation into the dumping of Ukrainian grain.
The protests, which began on February 9, 2024, are a response to perceived unfair competition from cheaper Ukrainian food products and dissatisfaction with the EU's agricultural policies.
The Ukrainian side emphasizes understanding for peaceful protests but condemns the destruction of grain as neither legally nor morally justifiable.
Despite the incidents, the Ukrainian ministry expresses gratitude towards Poles who continue to support Ukraine amidst the ongoing war.
