Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria signed the joint statement ahead of organized conversations in Brussels next week.

“This union is not versus anybody, not versus Ukraine or the EU, it remains in the interest of our farmers,” Poland’s minister Robert Telus said.
The choice followed the Black Sea grain deal, which enabled the export of Ukrainian grain from blockaded ports, concerned an end.
The 5 ministers said Ukrainian grain had actually been stuck in their nations prior to the deal, causing an excess that drove down rates for their farmers.
