EU Scrambles to Address Member States' Bans on Ukrainian Grain Imports

The European Union seeks to provide financial support for countries bordering Ukraine after some imposed temporary bans on Ukrainian agricultural imports to protect domestic farmers.
Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania have banned or tightened controls on Ukrainian grain and other farm produce entering their markets, angering Ukraine and the European Commission.
The European Commission proposed restricting Ukrainian food exports to the five countries and subsidizing affected farmers with 100 million euros.
Ukraine, whose ports are blockaded due to Russia's invasion, relies on land routes through neighboring countries to export grains and other goods, but some nations acted to curb a glut of cheap imports.
The dispute threatens European unity in opposing Russia's actions against Ukraine, even as Ukrainian troops begin training on U.S. Patriot missile systems.
