Poland, Hungary to Extend Ban on Ukrainian Grain Imports

Poland and Hungary plan to extend their bans on Ukrainian grain imports despite criticism of the measures, Bloomberg reported. The bans are set to expire at the end of June, but Polish Economic Development Minister Waldemar Buda said that will now be "absolutely impossible." Hungarian Agriculture Minister Istvan Nagy said Hungary wishes to keep the restrictions in place until the end of the year and also extend them to other food products. The measures are aimed at protecting their local agricultural sectors.
