Around 160 tons of Ukrainian grain was destroyed at a Polish railway station amid large-scale protests in what Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov on February 25 called an act of "impunity and irresponsibility." Polish farmers protesting this month against what they say is unfair competition from Ukraine and EU environment regulations have blocked border crossings with Ukraine and spilled Ukrainian produce from train wagons. EU agriculture ministers are due to meet in Brussels on February 26 to discuss proposals aimed at changing some regulations at the heart of recent discontent.
