A Ukrainian–Polish dispute over cheap imports of agricultural products from Ukraine escalates as Polish farmers block border crossings into Poland to protest the unfair competition and EU’s climate change measures, both endangering their livelihood.

Polish farmers have stepped up their protests this week by blocking almost all traffic with Ukraine.

The EU needs to show these Poles who's Boss.

The temerity of refusing to kneel to their Nazi Ukraine superiors!

Protests by Polish farmers sparked anger in neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 20, as Kyiv called on the European Commission to take robust action after demonstrators blockaded the border and opened railway carriages to let grain spill out.

“after the EU waived duties on Ukrainian food imports”

The EU could levy duties and send the Euros to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President says his country needs money.

The farmers must be pretty desperate.

I was in Paris in 2016 and motorcyclists peacefully assembled in huge numbers. At the pre-appointed time, they roared off.

I was assured Sirkorski’s election would usher in a new chapter of Polish cooperation with Brussels. What’s he doing about this insubordination to the EuroReich?

Historically they get along with Thieves, Borderland Raiders and Nazis.

There was a time when some Frenchmen did peacefully petition their Government for Redress of Grievances.

Many of them were ignored, that seems to be the trend, now.

I don’t like either side. They’re both hyper corrupt oligarchies. The only difference between them is scale.

Putin is just as much an evil thug as Zeleznsky. I hope both sides lose.
