I don’t understand why the EU is not renewing the grain deal. While the right-wing PiS(s) party is completely overreacting, they do have a point. Cheap Ukrainian grain would flood the EU and destroy grain prices the already heavily subsidised farmers in the EU rely on. Not to mention that this cheap grain wouldn’t reach 3rd world countries then. I haven’t heard any argument at all why the EU grain deal couldn’t or shouldn’t be continued.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

One of Ukraine’s staunchest allies, Poland, has said it is no longer supplying weapons to its neighbour, as a diplomatic dispute over grain escalates.

Mr Zelensky said it was alarming how some of Ukraine’s friends in Europe were playing out solidarity “in a political theatre - making a thriller from grain”.

Arms exports to Ukraine will not stop completely as Polish manufacturer PGZ is due to send about 60 Krab artillery weapons in the coming months.

Earlier this week, Ukraine filed lawsuits to the World Trade Organization (WTO) against those countries over the bans, which it said were a violation of international obligations.

Kyiv called for Poland to “leave emotion aside” after their ambassador was summoned and instead suggested the parties should adopt a constructive approach to resolving the dispute.

The French Foreign Minister Catherina Colonna said on Wednesday an EU study revealed Ukrainian grain imports would not cripple European farmers, and described the tensions as “regrettable”.
