Meanwhile spat around the Ukrainian grain continues.
There was a trade ban in effect in Polan, Northern Hungary, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, which banned the selling of Ukrainian grain in these countries. They did allow the transit of it towards countries that wished to buy it.
Now Ukraine complains about these countries at World Trade Organization. In response Polan said they'll stop arm transfers to Ukraine and will concentrate on arming themselves. Well, that's what you get when you kick into your supporters.
But. Did any arms they could give left in Polan at all? I suppose they pretty much run out at this point.
Another thing that nags me: why Ukrainian grain means such a danger to local farmers? Wasn't it prior 2022? It became so cheap that would kill local farmers? But if they sell Ukrainian grain locally, that means less Ukrainian grain for farther countries, which means local farmers could sell their grain there.
The whole issue smells fishy to me.
