EU subsidises nations that banned Ukraine’s grain

EU offers compensation to countries which imposed a ban on importing Ukrainian grain.

Sam Fenwick hears about the European Commission’s offer to nations which had imposed restrictions on importing cheap grain from Ukraine.

Poland, Hungary and several other European countries had taken the action to protect their farming industries.

The European Commission had previously warned those nations’ actions wouldn’t be tolerated.
