Poland to propose EU sanctions on Russian agricultural imports

Poland will ask the European Union to impose sanctions on imports of Russian agricultural products, its ambassador to the EU, Andrzej Sadoś, said, Reuters reports.

The official said that Europe is not currently threatened by disruptions in the agricultural supply chain. Earlier this week, the European Commission placed restrictions until 5 June on imports of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seeds to address oversupply of these commodities in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, the EU has adopted ten sanctions packages against Russian individuals and companies. In April, Poland proposed a new set of punitive measures against Moscow, including a ban on oil and diamond imports.
