EU Deal Opens Way for Ukrainian Grain Exports but Tensions Remain

Five Eastern European nations can temporarily ban Ukrainian farm imports they deem problematic if the goods are only transiting to other countries.
The EU will provide 100 million euros in aid for farmers in those countries whose crop prices collapsed due to cheaper Ukrainian imports.
Ukraine protested restrictions on its grain exports to Poland and the EU, calling them 'unacceptable' though a deal was reached.
Russia is threatening to withdraw from a deal allowing safe passage of Ukrainian grain exports from Black Sea ports, demanding sanctions relief.
The deal comes as Russia pressures the UN-brokered agreement first made last July to alleviate a global food crisis from blockaded exports.
