EU lets Ukrainian grain ban expire even as countries threaten to pass their own

LONDON (AP) — The European Union has decided not to renew a ban on Ukrainian food imports heading to nearby countries. The move Friday sets up a clash with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania and threatens European unity on supporting Ukraine against Russia’s invasion. Poland said it will extend its own ban. The EU members have said food coming from Ukraine has become stuck within their borders. That’s creating a glut that has driven down prices for local farmers. Poland’s prime minister has reacted by saying that his government will extend its own ban on Ukrainian grain.
