A temporary trade agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, established after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, is slated to expire on Thursday (Jun 5). Kyiv warns this will have a major impact on its economy that is heavily dependent on agriculture, adding that it could trigger negative sentiment towards the EU. However, farming communities in countries like France and Poland say they have been hurt by Ukrainian imports over the past three years. William Denselow reports from Warsaw.
